Hello Steemit Community!
Hi Everyone! My name is Eric Ochoa , I'm 24 years old originally from Los Angeles but now recently living and working in New York City. I grew in in a low income community in Los Angeles but after going to college and graduating I've been able to get a good job and thankfully no longer consider myself low income. However, now that most of my energy is not being spent on trying to get out of poverty I have a lot more free time and want to be able to do something constructive with that time.
The only problem is I have absolutely no idea what I can do that will add value to the community since I've spent most of my time before simply studying for school or learning how to code in order to get the job that I have now. But I do enjoy reading (as can be seen from my mini library), soccer, politics, and technology so maybe I can do something related to those?
Although I'm still not sure what I would like to do (or what I can do). I'm still very excited to have been accepted and to become a part of this community. Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to connecting with others on this platform!
Welcome :) If you can code, maybe you can add value on @utopian-io - check it out! :)
Ah thanks for pointing that out, seeing a lot of other people recommending it as well. I'm not the most advanced developer yet but will definitely give it a look through!
welcome to steemit family Eric.!
Hi Yasibit, thanks! Happy to be here

Hey Joshua, for sure! Don't know what I'm doing yet so more than happy to give your content a good look :)
Hi Eric, Welcome to Steemit!
I see that you are a software developer. Maybe you can join utopian.io. Utopian.io is built on top of Steem blockchain where you can earn rewards by contributing to Open Source projects. You can learn more about it from @utopian-io account & #utopian-io tag.
All the Best.
Thanks @iaf, definitely going to take a look. I'm not the most advanced developer yet but will definitely take a look and see if there's anything I can contribute to (or at least find out how much I need to learn before I can contribute). Thanks!
Hey there! What language/technologies are you working on learning?
Hello! At work I mainly use front-end stuff like Html and CSS, as well as a good amount of Python. However, at the moment I'm sort of more interested in data relating things so have been trying to learn more Python with respect to things like data analysis and data science (mainly by going through Datacamp's curriculum)
I see you're a front end developer yourself, do you dabble in back end stuff as well or are you mainly focused on front end technologies?
So in my studies, I figured I wanted to be a full stack developer. Once I got to my internship, I had to decide on front end or back end, though, and landed on front end. I'm still really enjoying my choice. I love being able to see my changes right in the browser. But I wouldn't mind being more full stack one day for my own purposes. Front end technologies are just keeping me pretty busy on their own right now. For instance, I need to be working on learning the Vue framework.
Got it, that's so cool! And yea I feel like front end can definitely keep you pretty busy with all of the frameworks you could learn and and specialize in. Case in point the Vue framework you're now learning about haha
