This will be a quick post to explain what I’ll be doing after graduation from Tech Elevator.
As of today, I’ve joined the Scotts Company as a full-stack web and mobile application developer. If you haven’t heard of Scotts, it’s the world’s leading lawn care company, behind brands like Miracle-Gro fertilizer and Roundup weed killer.
While I attended the .NET Bootcamp at Tech Elevator to learn Microsoft-based development, I’ll be working with completely different technologies at Scotts. Scotts works primarily with Google-based development technologies like Google App Engine, AngularJS, and Google Cloud services. Most of my time will be spent developing mobile applications using AngularJS with a tool called Ionic.
I graduated from Tech Elevator about a month ago and am one of the last students in our class of 28 to get a job. It’s been a wild ride. I hope this blog lives on to help somebody else in my situation. Five months ago I was unhappy with my career and made a radical decision, but I couldn’t be happier with how it’s worked out.
As always, if you have any questions, find me at joeosterfeld@gmail.com.
Cheers, Joe O
