Chicago-born, Iowa-raised, Los Angeles-seasoned, and now New York City-flavored, Sonyl started his career as a graphic designer focusing on web, which led down the slippery slope to becoming a full-stack technologist instead. He's worked at start-ups and global media companies using a variety of languages and frameworks, and what makes him tick is never solving the same problem twice. When in front of the classroom, Sonyl's always excited to have great teachable moments complete with laughter and seeing the "Aha!" moments in students' eyes. His current goals boil down to this: to leave a legacy. Maybe that's why he teaches, maybe that's why he take great pride in helping my colleagues and my clients to succeed, and all-in-all, if someone finds some shred of what Sonyl birthed worthy of standing upon to create another step in human evolution, it will have been a worthwhile life.
