About

Software Engineer & Full-Stack Web Developer.

I am Dave Martin and I have just graduated from General Assembly's Software Engineering Immersive Course with a good understanding of several widely used languages and frameworks including Python3, React, JavaScript, Django, Express, Node.js, and jQuery. Previously, I was a restaurant Manager with Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurants where I helped manage and take care of a team of wonderful employees through the hardest years the industry has ever seen. These responsibilities included maintaining a positive atmosphere and culture, keeping staffing levels adequate and consistent through ever-changing capacity restrictions, diligently sustaining our budget, and continually driving sales. Outside of work I am a full-time father of two amazing young sons who test me every day, and are my greatest accomplishments in life.

Through my experiences I have learned strength, adaptability, hard work, teamwork, and problem solving. While working though this immersive course I have refined my skills of organization, attention to detail, creative thinking, complex problem solving, and collaboration. I am passionate about learning and furthering my education in this industry, but always while driving success.
