Since late 2009, I've thought about learning to code. In 2011, I launched an iPhone app (outsourcing to an indie development firm). I wanted to build the product myself, but I was very eager to take the idea I had, and put it into the world as something people would find useful. So, I went the outsourcing route while taking care of everything else. This spring, I actually sat down and began the quest of learning to code. What you see with my personal website is a goal being met within the quest: to launch a simple, personal website. The ultimate goal? Obtain the ability to build web startups that fulfill the needs of others and solve major pain-points.
