I am a motivated and driven software developer with 2 years of experience and a strong knowledge of CS principles, software design, technical documentation, unit testing, React, JavaScript, Python, SQL, Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, REST APIs, and Object-Oriented Programming. With over 10 years of experience as a classroom teacher, I am skilled at listening, collaborating, and meeting daily deadlines, as well as explaining concepts and ideas verbally and in writing. I am hard-working, meticulous, and creative, but above all, an empathetic, kind, and collaborative member of my surrounding community.As a former technologically inclined educator, I entered software engineering to build and work on projects that improve the learning experiences of students and the lives of educators. I am open to any opportunity that allows me, or further enhances my skills and ability to do so.I currently build and host websites for schools with a focus on accessibility using React, JavaScript, CSS, NodeJS, Ruby On Rails, and other tools to help foster communication between schools and families. Other educational apps I have built include Times Tables Master and World Quiz World, which you can find in my portfolio site : https://www.ed-veloper.com.
