Hello world, I'm
Justin Silbiger,
a software engineer.
About
I'm a full stack developer with certifications from the City University of New York. My journey into tech wasn't straightforward – I took a different path that had its own challenges, and I learned a lot along the way. But every step brought me closer to where I am today – always learning new skills and exploring new technologies to build the things that interest me most.
Currently, I am leading the development of the Silbiger Family Tree Database, a web application designed to document and expand upon the genealogy of the Silbiger family. The platform manages a growing list of over 1,200 family members.
