Résumé/CV/Contact: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickgormannyc/

I'm a second-career software developer with a CS background who previously worked in IT in both academic and startup environments. I made the shift over to full-time software development in 2017 and I'm looking to grow in the role of an independent contributor.

My long-term mission is to build a company that helps students in non-technical communities gain apprenticeships in the technology field.

Currently, I'm looking to join a company with a mission that helps people lead fitter, healthier, happier lives, or a company that supports entrepreneurs or small businesses. I enjoy building out APIs and connecting with external APIs, dealing with algorithmic challenges, and writing clean, understandable code.
