Biography

Hello! My name is Bailey Maynard, and I currently work as a Software Developer out of upstate NY.

As a kid, I was always fascinated with technology - from my very first cell phone, to my first full-sized computer. I fell in love with the concept of being able to tinker and play around with tech, both inside on the software, as well as outside on the hardware. The spirit of discovery is what drove my fascination the most, and seeing my changes or tweaks update with instant results was the ultimate gratification. I believe this is why I ultimately chose software development as my career path, because software development encompasses all those aspects into one. One is able to tinker and play around with new facets of technology, as well as expand upon their current knowledge with tools they know and love. They can decide to tackle a lengthy, challenging project, or crank out something simple for that instant gratification.

This website is my current passion project, allowing me to expand my horizons into web development technologies that I haven't previously been able to play around with in my career. Expect continuous updates!
