John Vitales

noun: /dʒɑn/ /viˈta.lis/

I'm a nursing student turned developer. Growing up, I've always been into tech, design and music. Soft-modding almost all my electronics from gaming consoles to music players to designing t-shirts and event flyers for different organizations. I enrolled in to FullStack Academy of Code in New York City to get an immersive experience and learn the best practices involving software development, a field that I've been curious of for the longest time. I've created many projects during my time at Fullstack Academy one of which is an augmented reality mobile game! When not in front of the computer, I enjoy noodling on my guitar and spending time with my favorite programming partner, Sam, my dog.
