Follow one course until successful

ABOUT ME
I am a Software Engineer who relocated from Wisconsin to California, following my dreams of living in one of the largest tech hubs in the world. I am looking forward to easy access to tons of conferences where I will form many connections over time. I have 9 years of experience in backend development. My experience has been working on E-commerce websites and in fintech. In my free time I work on personal projects, and freelance work. Although my focus has been backend development, I am capable of working with frontend technologies and I am open to fullstack opprotunities.
While I did enjoy my time at Bank of the West, my time there has come to an end as I was impacted by their layoffs after the merger with Bank of Montreal. I am grateful for the advance notice they gave us, as my last official day would be December 8th 2023. However, I am ready to start a new job immediately. I am looking for something that is either backend or fullstack and my location preference is remote or hybrid/on-site in California with a preference of Southern California, but am open to California in general.
