Hello! My name is
Coby
I’m a Full Stack Developer who uses a product-mindset to build user friendly websites and apps. I am passionate about building things that help make our world more equitable and sustainable.
About me
I am a Full Stack Developer that builds tools to support small businesses, create a social impact, advance smart city technologies, and combat climate change.
I have several years of experience in the public sector managing and building tools for innovative programs that promote economic equality and address climate change. Through this work I have supported small businesses, government, and non-profit organizations. I decided to get into development because I have always enjoyed solving problems by building things, taking them apart, and putting them back together again to understand how they work.
When I’m not developing, I can be found hanging out with my wife, son, & dog, listening to music from anywhere and anytime, being outside, climbing, biking, or enjoying the best bites NYC has to offer.
