My first foray into Steemitland ~ Introducing myself

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hey Steemians! My name is Nick and I'm new here.



I'm a 30 year old front-end web developer and native New Yorker living in the New York City metro area. I'm passionate about computer science, web development, cryptocurrencies, and Rangers hockey.

I plan on using Steemit as an alternative to the traditional social media sites and to discover fun things and network with new people. I will also be posting programming tutorials for those interested in web development pertaining to Javascript and the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js). I've noticed there aren't a lot of programming posts and Steemit seems like a great place for this kind of thing.

If you're a developer and working on cool stuff connect with me on Github:

I'll leave you with my favorite piece of NYC street art that I've come across:

Hi there, Nick! I'm honestly glad to be your first non-bot answer lol.

I'm also new here, and very interested in computer science as well, altho I'm almost a fresh graduate and have 0 experience. Looking forward to read your tutorials!

Cool. What languages do you program in?

Welcome, Nick! I'm into web development, too. Look forward to seeing your posts.

Oddly enough it doesn't seem like there are lot of web dev tutorials/articles on here. I'm very surprised by that.

It's a good niche to stake out. It seems like a lot of posts currently congregate around popular tags.

Hi Nick. I like how you are using this as a more non conventional type of social media. Pretty cool, and dope art street art! I went to NY for the first time last February and definitely want to go back soon.

NYC is a lot of fun
