Joshua King
Web Developer
About
I decided to make the career change to become a web developer, in order to push myself and give myself the creativity to create amazing things using only my two hands and a computer. From a young age, when I used to spend hours tinkering with the HTML and CSS on my myspace profile page, I always found some enjoyment in coding, and technology in general, so after some deliberation and discussion with my friends in the industry, I decided to finally make the jump into coding by joining General Assembly, and I couldn’t be happier.
I have have really enjoyed the challenges and wins that coding has already provided me, and I eagerly await the next ones. I am looking forward to beginning my career as a developer in an environment that not only is full of friendly people, but also gives me a great opportunity to solve challenging problems with others, learn new technology and methods, and also to become a more accomplished developer.
