This repo is a representation of my effort to move from a government program manager to a front-end engineer. My first commercial job after college was in front-end development, then I accepted a job in government and quit working on my technical skills, to many years later dabbling in front-end development once again. My latest role is to be the engineering lead for the Code.gov platform and complete all front-end engineering activities.

Here are a couple supporting docs outside of this repo.

My goal here, while trying not to be a workaholic, is to learn as much as possible by coding almost every day for a year. Some days this involves working on one of the Code.gov 15 code bases to doing an online class to writing javascript programs.

The following is a collection of coursework and projects beyond Code.gov that support my move to engineering.
