Hi, I am Brian Hitchin.

About me

Hello! My name is Brian Hitchin, a fullstack engineer.

Having been in the field of neuroscience for 10 years, it was only natural for me to eventually make contact with computer science. One day, a very kind graduate student pulled me into his office and showed me what he was working on, a custom MatLab analysis script. I remember not understanding a single thing, but thinking that it was extremely cool. After a few months, he started to let me write my own scripts. They were rudimentary, but it was the most fun I've had in a lab. After some time in a neuroscience PhD program, I decided it wasn't right for me. I took some time to think about what I really wanted to do, then I remembered those moments in the lab. I then took the plunge into enrolling into App Academy's fullstack software enginner bootcamp!

Since then, I have completed the bootcamp, during which I created multiple fullstack web applications, which you can check out here! I am currently delving deeper into react and flask, as well as learning about algorithms and data structure 😊

I have recently finished Cognixia's Java JUMP program! I was able to delve into fullstack engineering with Java utilizing Springboot, Mockito, and SQL backend. I could also stay educated in how to keep a correct mindset in this journey. I have also earned AWS' Cloud Practitioner certificate.

Please reach out for any questions and potential collaborations! One thing I greatly appreciate about software engineering is that there are near infinite things to learn. I would love to get in touch with anyone and let's code together! Reach out to me at: brianleehitchin@gmail.com.
