Good evening! My name is Damon Young, and I'm based here in Southern California.
Although I have a computer science degree and started my career in UNIX admin, shell scripting, and release management, I've done just about every else you could possibly do in the software business (sales, dev management, program management, QA lead, scrum master, CSPO, etc.) except write actual code at places like Amazon, Hulu, as well as some big corporate systems integrators for quite a long time.
Now I'm looking to get back into actual software development professionally, so I'm acquainting myself with all of the various parts of the modern js frameworks and related stacks, and now seriously considering re-acquainting myself with Java as well.
So I'm a weird mix of a baby developer with the grey hairs of a tech veteran.
Really eager to learn as much as I can and jump into the deep end with this group.
Thanks!
