    Hey there! I'm Hunter Macias, a software developer based in Seattle, weaving magic in tech with my fingertips. I might be a recent CS grad, but don't let that fool you – I've got a rich tapestry of experiences under my belt. I'm currently shaping young minds as a Coding Coach at TheCoder School, where I blend my love for Python, JavaScript, and React with a passion for teaching. Before this, I was the Lead Instructor at Mission Bit, where I spearheaded an innovative Python curriculum, guiding over 100 students through the intricacies of web design and Unity.

    But wait, there's more to my story. I've had a thrilling stint as a Web Application Developer at Leadbird Agency in New York, where I developed a sophisticated React-based web dashboard for top executives. It was all about transforming complex data into intuitive insights – think Python-powered web scraping, Google Sheets integration, and an interactive dashboard that made data look sexy.

    My project portfolio? It's a kaleidoscope of innovation. From a music recommendation engine that marries machine learning with Python, to Notionary – a Notion-inspired web app built with Next.js and Supabase. And let's not forget my ChatGPT Messaging Platform, a testament to my prowess in AI, real-time messaging, and sleek frontend development. Evently, my event management app, combines robust backend development with modern UI/UX design, providing a comprehensive solution for event organizers and attendees alike.

    When I'm not teaching or building, I'm diving deep into technical proficiencies like HTML, CSS, React.js, Next.js, and database management with MySQL, MongoDB, and Firebase. Frameworks? Libraries? APIs? Cloud Services? You name it, I've dabbled in it – always with an eye towards cutting-edge solutions and cloud-based efficiencies.

    So, if you're on the hunt for a developer who combines technical know-how with a flair for innovative solutions and a dash of mentorship, let's connect. You can DM me on Twitter or just email me. Let's create something awesome together!
