I'm currently consulting as a technical recruiter at Genius.
I co-instruct a 10-week technology course where students learn the fundamentals of an object-oriented programming language (Ruby), complement front-end skills by building functional web applications using Rails, and deploy web applications using database (SQLite & PostgreSQL) solutions.
I was the founding Producer/Project Manager hired to work on General Assembly's Outcomes Team and have helped grow the team from 3 to 23 people.
I've helped build numerous physical programs and digital products that have aided in achieving post-course employment for over 1,500 GA graduates. 300+ NYC companies currently employ a GA graduate and 60+ companies have returned to hire 2 or more.
