Christian Black

I am a greater-Nashville-based front-end software engineer specializing in React, Javascript, and Next.js

About

I'm currently enrolled at Nashville Software School in their Full-Stack Web Developer track.

More About Me

I used to think that the life of a software engineer was like the main character in the Matrix; holed up in a poorly lit room staring at lines of code streaming down a screen. I still think some of that is true, but I've found that collaborating and working with colleagues to solve problems is an under-appreciated and crucial component of success in engineering.

What I've been learning

Here are some of the skills that I've developed:

  • Javascript - working with frameworks and comfortable with code modularization

  • React - utilizing React hooks like useState and useEffect, as well as routes using Next.js

  • Teamwork - contributing to and collaborating with a software development team (examples here and here).

  • Research - software development is solving problems; research is half the battle to engineering a solution.
