About Me

Hello, I'm Joel, and I have a passion for all things creative. I've done work on writing stories, shows, making music, shooting videos, and most importantly, software development. I have trained through the App Academy bootcamp, and this taught me many techniques to help grow my creative skills. I am a swift learner, and I strive for continuing education in this field. No matter what challenge any particular job may present, I can be confident that I'll learn the ins and outs quickly, and, if needed, find ways to optimize the process. In addition, I've spent years now as a comedian specializing in improvisation, or improv. The greatest skills I've learned from countless improv shows is working with a group of talented people to support each other. The most important concept in improv is to make your team members look good. I'm not the only star of the show, we all are. I've applied this concept to jobs, since working as a team is extremely important, and I always reach out a hand to help all coworkers stay on even ground. Looking forward to the next team I'm working on.
