About Me |
/about/ |
My name is Barry and I'm from NYC. I'm the Director of Technical Product at DoSomething.org where I serve as the chief unblocker within our engineering team.
I love building things, but more than anything I enjoy helping other developers do what they love: writing code. If you're just starting out as a web developer and are looking to land your first serious web development work, this site is for you.
The best place to start is with [my free newsletter]({{ site.baseurl }}/newsletter/) where I deliver articles twice per month that will help you get hired as a web developer.
