RJ Salamanca

Full Stack Web Developer

About me

PROFESSIONAL PATH

Hello World! I'm Ronito Jr Salamanca, but you can call me RJ for short. I was a former Torontonian (Go Raptors) turned into an ATLien. I've had a passion for computers since I was 8. I formerly worked as a Help Desk Technician at Toronto's largest college. My passion for tech has lead me to web development. I'm currently enrolled at DigitalCrafts, where I'm learning to hone my skills and training to become a code ninja.

When I'm not programming you can find me playing video games, primarily first person shooters. If I'm away from the keyboard I'm either hiking with my dogs, pumping iron, or at a food festival with my wife. Relocating has given me the opportunity to have a fresh start and I'm looking forward to growing with the company I'm partnered with.

While you're here, check out my work down below!
