Hello Fedora community!
My name is Taylor and I am a junior software developer from the United States with a non-CS bachelor's degree in SEMTE. I'm largely self-taught and while I have some coursework in systems programming and operating systems, I know I have a lot of room to grow before I'd be able to contribute to the degree I'd like on a project as complex as Fedora.
I aspire to be a contributing member of one or multiple of your engineering teams, and I'd love to learn more from experienced members what skills and proficiencies might best cater to success on your engineering teams. However, with my current experience, I feel the most marketable skills I have relate to my english proficiency and written communication skills on technical topics. This might best serve the Documentation team, or possibly another team under the Mindshare umbrella.
I'm open to any suggestions and have a flexible schedule to dedicate, dependent on potential team need. Ultimately, I'm eager to learn and contribute, and I look forward to any interaction we have going forward!
Best, Taylor Baker
