Hi there! I'm Catt, a software developer in Boston, Massachusetts, formerly a business development manager at balena.io in London, U.K. I'm always learning new things and sharpening my skills in the coding space and decided to start blogging for accountability on my learning journey. After a couple hours of research I decided to set myself up on DevDojo. My dev portfolio and resume can be found at cattcodes.com
