About Drew Nelson

I\'m a full stack web developer who helps businesses leverage quality website builds to add value to their brand and their clients. In 2019 I started a window cleaning business, growing it to a full time income within 6 months of launch. After buying out my business partner I continued to grow the brand to over 100 clients, primarily residential. After considering the difficulties in scaling a home service-based business, I joined the BloomTech coding bootcamp in Oct. of 2021. This opened up a whole world to me yet undiscovered. The tech world proved not only to be fascinating in its real world business application and scalability, but learning the engineering side became one of the most rewarding intellectual exercises I\'ve ever encountered.I\'m now on a mission to work for companies that can offer a team entrenched in a culture of excellence. It\'s in who you know, not what you know, and I want to meet and work with the who\'s who can show me how to become an incredible coder.Tech Stack || Full Stack Engineer | React.js | JavaScript | CSS | HTML | SQLite | Node.js
