MEET COLIN

Colin Aulds

Hi, I'm Colin. I've been working in the blogging and podcasting sector for the last 3 years, which ignited my interest in web development and UI design. I eventually joined the Thinkful Full Stack Career Path program, and I haven't looked back since. I spend most of my time working and studying the field to become just a little bit better everyday.

Here is what I have to offer you: I'm an affable full-stack dev with a serious passion for UI and UX design. My educaton is a constant work in progress. I'm a fast learner, and I'm good at knowing what I don't know, admitting to it, and finding an answer.

Have a look at my portfolio below, and let's meet each other in person soon to talk about what I can bring to you and your team.
