Hello! My name is

Chase Taylor

I'm a self-taught and highly motivated prospective entry-level software engineer

About Me

Over the last two years I've been teaching myself programming through online resources such as edX and Harvard's free online computer science courses. To date, I've completed and received certificates for CS50 Intro to Computer Science and CS50 Web Programming with Python and JavaScript. Through these two courses I've learned languages such as C, Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS as well as the Django framework.

Although I am still extremely new to programming, it is something that I have a passion for and want to continue to learn as much as I possibly can. My short-term goal is to continue to create projects that push myself to learn new skills, languages, and frameworks while attempting to jump start my career with an internship or entry level position.
