Codewars Profile

I like using Codewars to improve my Javascript and Python. You can see my progress on my profile here

freeCodeCamp Profile

I owe a lot of my learning to freeCodeCamp. After completing the responsive web design certification, I had the confidence to work on my own sites. More recently I completed the Javascript Algorithms and Data Structures Certification. You can see my progress through the freeCodeCamp curriculum here.
