About Me
My name is Isaac Hollow Horn Bear. I am Sicangu Lakota, originally from South Dakota, currently living in Sacramento, CA. I enjoy the challenge of adapting to the ever changing field of technology and finding unique and simple solutions. I am a self motivated and creative problem solver who takes pride in following through to ensure things get done. I love learning new skills and adding them to my tool bag.
Outside of coding, I enjoy meeting up with my friends at my favorite coffee shop, indulging in my slight caffeine addiction. On a Saturday you can usually find me in a video game with my ten-year-old son who, already being way better than I am, carries us to victory. I am also actively involved in Lakota Ceremony. I have found a much deeper sense of self through my Lakota heritage and culture, and I sincerely believe it's what has led to where I am today.
Professional Summary
I enjoy the challenge of adapting to the ever-changing technology field and finding unique and simple solutions. Proven track record of creating and implementing successful front and back-end web applications and looking to bring my tech skills to a company.
