About

I'm Alyson Paige, a full stack web developer based in DC. I've always had a soft spot for technology. A few years ago, I saw an opportunity for personal growth and to enhance my knowledge in an industry that I love but which is rapidly changing and growing. I enjoy learning from the community and sharing what I know through meetups, discussion boards and volunteering.

When I'm not burried in code, I love spending time with my husband and doing the following:

Reading
Travelling
Soccer
Listening to podcasts and audiobooks
Cycling & hiking
Sleeping (highly recommend this activity)
Watching Netflix and soccer

Did I mention soccer? I love soccer.
