About

👋 Hi! I'm Douglas.


🤓 Before I decided to become a nerd, my background was in startup marketing.


🌊 I got my toes wet in technology doing things like:


  • 🗂️ CRM administration
  • 📈 working with business intelligence stuff
  • 🛒 redesigning websites to actually get sales.

Now, I'm a Full-Stack Web Developer.

In 2022, I moved to Oklahoma to attend Atlas School (formerly Holberton School Tulsa), trading press releases for pull requests.

I chose Atlas School for its rigorous, hands-on, project-based curriculum that covered a wide range of technical concepts, skills, and tools in a collaborative environment.

From C to CSS, I learned to think programatically and apply a huge variety of modern web development technologies to real-world problems.

The technologies I encountered during a career in startup marketing led me to return to school, trading ad copy for api docs.
