Hey there, I'm Richard Schaubeck

I am a software engineer based in New York City with experience in Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, React, and Redux. A couple years ago I began teaching myself how to code as a hobby, but quickly realized I wanted to make it a career. I took the next step, and signed up for App Academy to learn in a more structured environment. While there I learned to refine what coding skills I already had, and worked hard to become proficient in all the languages, libraries, and frameworks I didn't know. When I'm not coding you can find me playing pick up basketball or softball somewhere, or trying ( trying being the operative word ) to learn an instrument.
