About me
As an Army veteran and former medic, I have a strong background in serving others and solving complex problems under pressure. My experience in the military has taught me the value of teamwork and adaptability. I bring these qualities to every project I work on.
Recently, I have transitioned into the world of back-end development, where I use my analytical skills and attention to detail to create efficient and reliable systems.
I am excited to combine my growing skills and background into making a positive impact on the world through my work. I can be reached through LinkedIn as well as through my email: richmond.connor@gmail.com. I would love to talk about my career change and how I can bring my experiences to a new work environment.
