Hello.

About Me

Hello. I'm Nick Taylor. I'm a web developer living in the Bay Area.

Life has taken me a lot of places thus far. Over the past few years, I have been a raft guide, an English teacher in Barcelona, a residential and commercial gutter installation specialist, a manager for a handicap accessibility company, and most recently a student at Rithm School in the heart of San Francisco. While a path like mine is becoming less common in the modern era, I believe it has prepared me well for a successful career in the world of software engineering.

As a raft guide, I practiced both physical and mental agility, having to adapt to anything and everyone along my countless trips down the Ocoee River. As an English teacher, I had to adapt to an entire new language, culture, and work environment as I applied my interpersonal and language skills to help students of all ages improve their English. Compounding upon these abilities, I moved into the world of construction where I had to apply problem solving and logic to complete tasks as efficiently and safely as possible. Then, as a handicap accessibility specialist, I was required to not only perform tasks as efficiently and safely as possible, but I had to also use both creative and technical techniques in order to make buildings wholly accessible.

Through all of these different journeys and career paths, an interest in technology has always persisted and played a large part in my life. Somewhere along the way, I started to teach myself basic HTML and CSS. When I did my first few tutorials in JavaScript, I knew I had found the right path for me. From those naive beginnings oh not so long ago, I have progressed through practice, education, and community to build projects such as these.

So get in touch. Let's have a conversation. Let's use technology to build a better world.
