About Dillon Coffman

Since I was a little kid I've always been tinkering and seeing just how far I can go with the things I find myself passionate about. At first it was ukulele, then yo-yoing, then guitar, then origami, then the cigar box guitar (yep, that's a thing), the suitcase drum (also a real thing ), and finally–technology. Music is and was a huge passion of mine growing up but I never took formal lessons. It was always,"Here's a (insert rad instrument here) and the Internet, good luck!" I think learning in such an independent way improved my critical thinking skills greatly. As I've gotten older, I've felt a pull to learn more about *why* and *how* things can sound so good musically. That same kind of curiosity is what fuels my passion for technology. I strive to understand exactly *why* and *how* the languages and frameworks I use work together to create solid applications. In college, I was disappointed to learn that web development wasn't a part of the curriculum, so I taught myself. Since college, I've went from developing static web pages to whole applications with React.js using cloud services from Google Cloud and AWS. I am continuously learning - currently I'm focused on NestJS and the latest Next.js release. Want to learn more about me? Keep up with what I'm working on at dilloncoffman.com or check out my GitHub!
