About Me

Hey there! My name is Kyle Mooney, (not the one from SNL, sorry to disappoint). I've spent the better part of a decade working outdoors, traveling around the Midwest, and generally loving life. After a while though, the cumulative strain on my body was starting to get to me, so I took a job in the office of the tree care company I was working for at the time. I quickly realized that while getting to work indoors was an improvement for me, the work I was doing wasn't challenging enough.

I started looking around for careers where I could put my brain to use, and it didn't take me long to narrow my sights on software engineering. I have multiple friends in the field, and they all seem to both enjoy their work as well as be challenged by it. After talking it over with a couple of them, it was a no-brainer that I should follow their lead.

I signed up for a part-time coding bootcamp, and for the next year I got to experience what I was looking for: a challenge. Now that I'm on the other side of that experience, having built several full stack projects, I know that I made the right decision. There will always be more to learn, and I can't wait to continue to grow as a software engineer.
