About Me
Hello! I'm Issa Gruber, a full-stack developer based in Amsterdam. I'm orginally from the beautiful state of Colorado but moved to San Francisco, California right after I graduated college. Most recently I spent 5 years working at Uber as a Technical Recruiter. After nearly 10 years hiring software developers I realized I wanted to be the one on the ground creating amazing things! I enrolled in a fulltime engineering program at Ironhack-Amsterdam and I can say it's been the best decision I've made. I love being challenged and getting the chance to build new things daily.
Technologies I've Worked With: Javascript, ReactJS, HTML5, CSS, NodeJS, Express, MongoDB, Bootstrap, Handlebars, Git, Github.
Hobbies
In my free time you can find me at the pilates studio, planning my next trip, baking chocolate chip cookies or reading a good book. Lover of all things Fantasy and Sci-Fi!
