His next goal is to refine his skills in cutting-edge technologies, especially Javascript-based ones such as Angular and Node.js, and he continues to work on building apps that help people learn.

Sara got involved in the tech world when she was 15 as a Quality Assurance Analyst. She spent 2 years in high school testing insurance rating software (yawn) before moving to San Francisco to major in Sociology at the University of San Francisco. After a few years dabbling in other industries, Sara realized that software development was her true calling. She prefers to work with the full stack, and is quickly falling in love with robust javascript apps built with backbone. Her next goal is to improve her skills in javascript test frameworks. Testing is key! When not writing apps, Sara enjoys cooking and tries to spend as much time sewing as she does ripping out stitches. She also has an unreasonable love for period British dramas and has seen every film incarnation of Sense and Sensibility. She lives in Concord (which is definitely in the Bay Area!) with her husband, Zeph, and their two fluffy cats, Azrael and Jake.

Having a love for coding was never the problem, rather being around it was at first quite rare. That changed when I started GuitarDistrict.com where I quickly had to learn the many concepts of web design and development. This passion and intrigue led me to learn more on my own and to eventually enroll in General Assembly's WDI program. I look forward to the next challenge where my entrepreneurial background is merged with my love for coding.

One of the first things I did when I got my first computer in 2000 was get an account at Neopets.com and learn HTML and CSS. Over the course of a few years I lost sight of my passion and began to follow the prospects of big money and majored in Financial Mathematics in college. I held a plethora of Finance and Accounting internships while working full-time during those four years of hell. When I finally graduated I realized that I made an unsatisfying choice and wanted to pursue a career that would give me intrinsic happiness. I wanted to do something that was mentally stimulating and something that was magical. I snagged up a job after college, saved a few quarters and lint in my pocket, and moved from Boston to San Francisco in September 2013 to pursue Web Development.

I’m a developer with a passion for branding, design and usability. My interests lean towards the front end, because I love to make beautiful, useful things. Having said that, my current obsession is playing around with server-side JavaScript frameworks (namely Node.js and Meteor). Before WDI, I was a copywriter for a creative agency, working on campaigns for global consumer brands. I became a developer so I could build things people want.

I'm a world traveler and surf bum cleverly disguised as a web developer. Since it became clear that just being worldly and sporting a tan does not a successful dude make, I’ve focused my energies on the web, which happily has proven to be an awesome decision. I experiment with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript more-or-less constantly; dabbling with PHP and Ruby; and inhaling a wide variety of potentially useless information through a few hundred RSS feeds. Through this process, I’ve managed to build a number of sites that are fun, engaging and serve a genuine purpose.
