Who Am I

My name is Ben Garcia, and I am a self-taught Web Developer who is passionate about technology and the role it plays in our world. The Web, in particular has intrigued me ever since I started reading The Odin Project’s Web development curriculum. Whether it was front-end or back-end I found myself hooked and decided then and there that this was what I wanted to do.
