Hey,👋 I'm Casey!

If you’ve ever met me before, either at a workshop, I’ve delivered, at re:invent, or perhaps watched or read a blog from me somewhere on the depths of the internet, I hope three things became evident to you.

1. I love helping people learn about new things. I too love learning new things and I think anyone can learn anything, so long as they put in the work. In essence, as Einstein once said I believe in one thing — that only a life lived for others is a life worth living. and I agree with that.
2. Through the years of mentoring other software engineers, and tutoring classmates in college. I've realized that it's extremely important to start with the fundamentals and then work your way up. I’m a big fan of keeping things simple. When you’re learning something new it’s helpful to start with simple examples and work your way up from there, that’s how I try and design each of my posts and workshops.
3. Failure helps us learn, as such I love doing challenges. I believe that when we fail or when we challenge ourselves, is when we grow. As such I’ve begun to incorporate challenges in all of my workshops, blogs, books, and courses. I co-founded Nerd Challenges, which is a community of individuals who strive to improve themselves by completing challenges.

I'm here to help!

If I can help you out in any way, always feel free to contact me. Whether it's you need some help with learning GatsbyJS, just general career advice, or you want me to look at your software architecture, or perhaps you just want a cup of virtual coffee :).
