Hello
I'm Dakota Lewallen. I'm a tech nerd, who managed to turn his hobby into a career. I managed to do that, largely in part due to the great people who contribute their projects and tutorials freely, here on Github. I'm super excited to now be able to contribute to the community. In hopes that others will be able to accomplish their goals, just like I have been able to.
How I Arrived Here
I started out learning full-stack web development at a bootcamp. However it was of rather poor-quality, and after completing it, I essentially restarted my learning path from scratch. I worked through a lot of freeCodeCamps materials, along with various udemy courses and Harvard's CS50 on EdX. While learning, I looked for every opportunity I could, to apply whatever skills/concepts I was learning. Because of that, I've built a rather wide range of software, with a wide range of tools.
Lately
I greatly admire the amount of great content that is available for people wanting to learn frontend web development. One of my goals for the near future, is to create similar content, but for those wanting to get into the backend side of developing web applications. My other major goal for the near future is to release a GraphQL API Service containing all the relevant information necessary to create applications to play Dungeons and Dragons (DnD). I started playing DnD in the last couple of years, and the market for applications that assist in playing the game is rather thin. With most of them being completely closed-source, I'm hoping that by developing and releasing this, I can spur on others to create great tools, that aid in playing one of my favorite games.
