Devon Grove

About Me

I'm Devon, and I'm currently a Software Engineer at Apptio. I graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in December 2018 with a B.S. in Computer Science. I also ran track and field and cross country at Cal Poly from 2014-2017.

When I'm not writing code, I love traveling to as many places as possible, running, skiing, playing guitar, playing chess, and all things Chelsea FC.

Development

My professional background lies in web application development, primarily with backend services. I really enjoy this work, but I have so many other areas I would like to explore further. I’m devoting time now to personal projects to improve my understanding of Angular and other frontend frameworks, and will be gracefully deploying them soon.

I'm passionate about developing beautiful software, and I love learning about best practices that come along with each tool--though I still have lots to learn. This passion has given me interest in DevOps tools and procedures that keep the build process as simple as possible for devs. I’ve lead a project to integrate Docker into my team’s workflow, and have aspirations to learn about Jenkins/Chef and other elements of the CI/CD pipeline.
