Todd Pangilinan
Making things go.
About Me
Hi, I'm Todd. I'm starting my second career in software/web development. I love taking things apart and making them work, currently doing so in React, Ruby on Rails, and JavaScript. Previously, I solved problems in the unpredictable industry of events in higher education. I know how to work with a team, navigate unfamiliar territory towards a goal, and how to communicate with stakeholders.
- Name: Todd Pangilinan (rhymes with "hang a linen")
- Based out of Based Portland, Oregon. But I'm comfortable and effective at working remotely.
- Extensive experience in project-based work (events), with a focus on collaboration and versatility.
- React | Ruby on Rails | JavaScript | CSS | HTML | basic Python
- TDD | OOP | Git/Verison control
- Life-long tinkerer. If the washing machine breaks down, I'm researching how to fix it (maybe while taking it apart).
