a little bit about me
Hello and pleasure to meet you. I'm Louis - I am an award-winning writer and photographer who transitioned into marketing. Then I learned to code. I'm looking for career opportunities in tech where I can continue to grow as a developer, while also using my skills to improve the communities around me. When I'm not coding, I love flying drones (I'm a certified drone pilot and level 1 drone thermographer), exploring the countryside, and sharpening my photography and videography skills.
