Joseph Worman

Full-Stack Ruby on Rails Web Developer in New York City, NY.

About

I’ve always sought out opportunities and challenges that are meaningful to me. Although my professional path has taken many twists and turns — from traveling around the world and becoming a personal assistant, to an English teacher at a private school, to working as a unpaid intern web developer for an individual — I've never stopped engaging my passion to help others and solve problems.

As a web developer, I enjoy using my obsessive attention to detail, my unequivocal love for making things, and my mission-driven work ethic to literally change the world. That's why I’m excited to continue to work as a webdeveloper.
