David Adams, PE
Ruby on Rails / Java Developer
An experienced engineer and agile-driven, team oriented full stack web developer seeking a challenging opportunity with a dynamic IT services company providing an uplifting work environment.
I am a self-starting, initially self-taught, Web Developer enthusiastic about Ruby on Rails, and Java! Recently, I completed a Java Digital Engineering full-stack web development program in Phoenix with Tech Talent South.
After gaining an interest in web development, I took the opportunity to start a self-directed study of Ruby on Rails programming, along with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery online through The Odin Project. I gained further knowledge and experience by participating in courses from Tech Talent South (TTS), including a Code Immersion Boot Camp, JavaScript API development, and RSpec testing in Rails. My latest course with TTS was a corporate-sponsored Digital Engineering Full-Stack Java Web Development program.
Prior to making a career change to web development, I aquired detail-oriented, analytical, and strong problem-solving skills as a licensed Professional Engineer (PE). I worked successfully as a structural engineer for many years in Phoenix, AZ. Skills I developed as an engineer have strengthened my ability to analyze needs and develop effective code.
I have found web development to be both challenging and fulfilling. I’ve continued to sharpen my skills by teaching sessions of the Code Immersion Boot Camp course at TTS (both in Rails and in Java), while continuing with self-directed learning and my ongoing projects. Learning web development is an ongoing process for me.
