Josh Zumbrunn

As a full-stack engineer, I am passionate about learning new technologies and creating impactful applications. I enrolled in an intensive coding bootcamp called App Academy in March 2023 to make a positive change in my life. I saw this as an opportunity to pursue a career that would enrich my mind and challenge me more than ever before.

In just nine months, I tackled programming languages like JavaScript and Python, and built multiple full-stack projects using React & Redux, Flask, and Express.js. My goal is to expand my knowledge in web development and to be part of a team that can make a real difference in tech or the world.
