About Cody Swithenbank

Software Development to me is solving one hundred different problems; one step at a time. And solving problems feeds my soul. I am Cody Swithenbank, a Senior Fullstack Web Developer (React Applications with Express Servers, Postgres databases on Node.js). I have completed Fullstack Academy of Code\'s Bootcamp and am currently working as a Software Engineer! ⌨ In 2021, I began my journey into code, learning all the fundamentals of web development and building projects with teams, centered on full-stack JavaScript development, including Node.js, Express, Sequelize ORM for PostgreSQL databases, React and Redux; along with HTML & CSS, and CS fundamentals. Inside of the industry I have worked on building design systems, creating logical system architectures working in a multi-project role as the implementor of various stakeholder ideas Additionally, I have taken on the role of mentor to my coworkers, providing guidance on best practices, assisting with complex problem-solving, and facilitating knowledge sharing to help elevate the skills and expertise of my team. 🧘‍ Outside the tech world, I love to constantly learn and develop those rounding skills. My hobbies include (but not limited to) Yoga, Digital Art, Painting, Gaming and Cooking. I also love reading books on personal development, philosophy and fiction. My favorite ones are The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts, Island by Aldous Huxley and Dune by Frank Herbert.
