Sam Mikael Jones

For ten years I worked in law, government and the education services industry. I worked with a wide range of different tools and technologies and with people from literally allover the world, from Japan to Brazil and everywhere in between. I had several students that worked for tech companies: whether in sales, product management, marketing or engineering and so on. Hearing some of their stories I realized that I could definitely break into the tech industry as well. At my previous employer I worked with a teaching platform that uses specific APIs and I was always curious as to how the entire website worked. I truly believed that I could probably write similar or better software. So I took it upon myself to learn the frontend. While I was working in the industry I was also writing code to make the industry better. So I leaned into my engineering skill-set. I leaned into freelancing and working with several wonderful clients. I've always enjoyed working with a productive team that builds tools that people love. I also enjoy writing about everything law and technology. And that's what brings me here today.
