   Some people complain, some people ship change.

   If a high school drop-out like me can learn how to code, what is stopping you?

   Seriously though, I'm living proof that a gay, indigenous, high school dropout from redneck Alberta can defy all odds and practice to become the developer he always dreamed of.

   Never stop believing in yourself ❤️
