About Me
Hi, I'm Nate. I’m a full stack web developer with a specialization in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js). As a seasoned IT professional transitioning into development, I'm currently enrolled in UConn’s Coding Boot Camp to augment my prior coding skills, which were obtained through a combination of self-directed learning and coursework from my prior place of employment - Francis Marion University.
I was fortunate to spend 8 years at FMU in a variety of roles from desktop support, to Director of Desktop Support, to Systems Administrator. I worked as a member of a team transitioning the university’s ERP solution from on-prem to the cloud based Ellucian Colleague, and was also one of a two-person team which managed hundreds of servers and virtual computer images across 2 domains in a VMWare environment.
I'm originally from South Carolina, and my wife is from Connecticut; we recently relocated to Connecticut and shortly afterwards I realized that while I enjoyed my time in systems administration, my passion lies in programming and web development.
On a Personal Note:
My wife and I met in World of Warcraft! Quality family time at our house involves video games, board games, and Dungeons Dragons. If the weather is nice, you might also find me on a hiking trail that leads up a mountain or through a forest somewhere in the wilderness.
Information on UConn's bootcamp can be found at bootcamp.uconn.edu, and the curriculum pdf can be viewed by clicking here. This six month bootcamp began on November 12th, 2019 and will finish on May 9th, 2020. I'm learning so much and continually find myself excited about the next class!
For more information, please visit my website at NatePad.com, which I built by using templates that I found online along with Bootstrap.
