Sr. Backend Engineer at Zapier
Hi! I'm Joel, a software developer with about 15 years of experience, currently based in South Carolina, USA. I started my career in Architecture and Design before making the leap into tech — a transition that deeply shaped my perspective and passion for helping others do the same.

Today, I work at Zapier, where I focus on the Tables product and think a lot about how to make process automation more powerful and accessible. Prior to Zapier, I taught at a coding bootcamp, where I had the privilege of helping many people break into the tech industry — something I still care deeply about.
