About Gelid Spade
About Our Mission
Starting out as a social media coordinator at my first full-time job after college, it was only myself and one other person in charge of our small company’s digital department. I quickly needed to take on a bigger role in order to help with the influx of digital requests from our clients.
At this job, I was introduced to the world of website maintenance. Since then, I have taken it upon myself to research front-end web development with the goal of creating a career out of it. I love coding because I have a passion for learning and creating. I enjoy challenging myself every day and working through problems.
When I’m not coding, I spend time on my other hobbies. These include playing guitar, listening to music, watching hockey, playing video games, skateboarding, spending time with my dog, and hanging with friends.
