I completed a 12-week Web Development Immersive bootcamp at General Assembly. The course prepared me to become a well-versed full stack web developer with solid time management skills, a meticulous workflow, and a well-rounded exposure to the latest industry standards.

The curriculum moves at a very fast pace in order to complete the dense curriculum within the 3-month time frame. With so much material to cover, I became extremely comfortable using issue queues on Github, reading documentation, and using online resources to solve problems on my own.

I developed 4 projects in total, two being open-ended prompts. Each project allowed for no more than 8 days to complete from planning to deployment, with as few as 3 days being alloted for the group-oriented project.

I received my B.A. in Economics with a minor in Philosophy from the Morrissey College of Arts/Sciences at Boston College. My favorite courses were a Logic course in Philosophy and Econometric Methods.

Logic covered boolean logic and conditional interactions in depth. I was deeply fascinated with the prevalence of logical operations in nearly every facet of life, and how Web and Software development are just concrete application of these abstract principles.

Econometric Methods was my most challenging course, demanding a deep understanding of regression models. My final project involved manipulating South African census data via Stata to determine the health of a new-born child given over 30 variables.
