Background

About Rick Heist

As a Marine Corps veteran, I bring a strong foundation of leadership, accountability, decisiveness, and unwavering perseverance to any endeavor. My commitment to excellence was recently demonstrated during a challenging 6-month journey through the University of Pennsylvania's Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp, all while maintaining a full-time job and embracing a promotion that demanded additional training. Throughout this rigorous program, I not only excelled as a student but also assumed the role of team lead in two critical course projects. In this leadership capacity, I skillfully guided my teams, ensuring that we remained on course, prioritized tasks effectively, and adhered to our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to avoid scope creep. Currently, I am actively seeking a part-time position or internship that will allow me to further refine my newly acquired web development skills and continue my personal and professional growth journey.
