The reverse job board for Second Career Developers

I create worlds in words, code, and empathy. Words to make complex concepts simpler to understand. Code to build solutions and empathy to always put me in my user's or audience's shoes.

My background is in linguistics and teaching languages, but my passion has always been tech. I was a coordinator for a regional education program for 3 years, which helped develop people and leadership skills. I've been teaching myself web development for almost a year, and I've made a lot of progress. I'm really excited to learn even more!

RoR backend development for 2 years now. Middle-aged guy who left his life career to make a living out of programming... all in all: pursuing my dream!

I'm currently looking to get into a Ruby on Rails position. I'm wanting to transition back to an individual contributor and I believe Ruby on Rails is my path back to it.

Hello, World! I'm a front end web developer with some web content producer experience. My "before" career path included roles such as elementary school librarian, front desk person for an outpatient laboratory, and administrative assistant. I self-directed my tech learning with community resources and then was accepted to the San Diego Workforce Partnership's Income Share Agreement program to earn my Front End Web Developer certification. I was able to work for a short time as a web content producer before my position was eliminated. I'm looking to find a new role to support my team and grow as a developer.

Aside from my technical abilities, my core strengths are curiosity, empathy and tenacity. These were evolved after 6 years in a sales role, but help me daily as a SWE. CURIOSITY- when faced with a new challenge my mindset is not >I don’t know>, it is “I don’t know this yet”. EMPATHY- I learned to listen, not to reply, but to understand the needs of my customer (or user, project manager, colleague etc). TENACITY- I accept that failure is part of growth. It may be painful but it is the only way to improve.

I am Ruby on Rails Developer looking to transition over from Support Engineer to Software Engineer. I have experience with Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and working remote. While I do not work full-time as a Software Engineer, I have gained my experience by attending a Bootcamp, freelancing and working on my own app, which is Sharedwise. What I lack in experience I make up in determination and focus to learn what I need to know to provide value to my customer and team.

I am a making the pivot back into STEM! I started out with a biology degree (research). I had an adventure in pastry, wine & cheese and now I am back in STEM as an entry level software developer. I aspire to be a life long student. There is always something interesting to learn. I'm full of gratitude, I get back up and I take pride in that I have worked within many diverse businesses & maintained lasting relationships.

I bring 2 years as a lead IT Consultant and Technical Writer, with strong collaboration and problem-solving skills. by using innovative ideas, and creativity for accomplishing robust projects.

Originaly an educator and group guide, now a rails dev since 2017, I've worked on many projects for educational organizations, from creating online exhibitions for COVID times, to internal information management and processes. I'm super excited by new and interesting projects that will actually be used by people and that would make their lives better. It is very important to me that we'll have good communication so the whole thing feels good for everyone involved.
