Cody Swithenbank
I am Cody Swithenbank, a Senior Fullstack Web Developer based on the Central Coast of California. With over three years of experience, I specialize in creating tools that enhance daily life through automation, organization, and communication. After graduating with a degree in Chemical Engineering, working in environmental engineering for over five years, and transitioning to software engineering via a bootcamp, I discovered a passion for merging creative and technical skills. At Scalable Commerce, I lead cross-team collaborations, mentor junior developers, and establish coding standards, fostering continuous learning and innovation. My approach to development is rooted in a deep understanding of user experience, ensuring the products I create are both functional and elegant. In my spare time, I enjoy digital art, yoga, and cooking, which help me stay balanced and creative.
Art
Art has always been a pillar in my life, inspiring me to explore new mediums and techniques. I started learning digital art due to my fascination with geometric designs and my inability to draw straight lines with pencil and paper. Over the years, I've mastered software like Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere, Adobe XD, and more recently Figma. I've also dabbled in physical mediums like acrylic painting and photography. Art inspires my front-end coding and fuels my creativity.
Yoga
My yoga journey began during a visit to a long-time friend in Seattle. During that visit, I was introduced to hot yoga, attending daily sessions for a week. This immersive experience quickly revealed to me the profound benefits of yoga, particularly the power of breath control and grounding techniques. I found that yoga not only improved my physical fitness but also provided a significant boost to my mental clarity and emotional well-being. Yoga has since become a passion and an integral part of my daily routine. In September 2019, I took my commitment to the next level by completing a 200-hour teacher training program at SLO Yoga Center. This intensive training deepened my understanding of yoga philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodologies, empowering me to share the benefits of yoga with others.
Cooking
Cooking bridges technical and creative forces, bringing friends and family together through shared experiences. While I don't claim to be a top chef, I love cooking for my loved ones. This hobby allows me to constantly learn, practice, and literally taste the results of my efforts.
