Software Developer at PayPal.

        

Hi there! I'm Patrick. I like coding.

I currently work for PayPal on the Globalization team. It's really exciting working with a diverse team to make PayPal services and products accessible to everyone in the world.

I've followed a pretty non-traditional path to my current role. Been an English teacher, a project manager, a technician doing groundwater monitoring field work. None of those really seemed to fit. When I tried coding, I knew I'd finally found a career.

I attended Coding House in 2015 and was hired following graduation to:

  • Build out Coding House's web platform and tools
  • Sherpa for students in the second 7 weeks of the program
  • Instruct on advanced CS topics and workshops
