Get To Know Me

Howdy folks, my name is Hunter and I am a Senior Software Engineer currently working for VML. Whether it's writing, teaching, learning, or writing about code - I just can't get enough. I started my coding journey back in 2018 when I made a career switch from being an IT Help Desk agent and enrolled in a coding bootcamp through the University of Kansas. It was then that I truly fell in love with coding. I had the opportunity a few years back to teach that very same course and it was super cool to come full circle. I currently am interested in Software Design & Architecture, Next.js, Vite, AEM, Java, Alpine.js, TypeScript and Tailwind but am always learning and revisiting technologies.
