About Me
Hi. I'm Jamie Simper, a full-stack developer and recent graduate of the Iron Yard in beautiful Charleston, SC. I have a strong do-it-yourself, hand-crafted mindset and I bring that to my coding. When not coding I can usually be found at home, reading, knitting, and cuddling with cats.

Salty Paws was created for volunteers who dedicate their time to caring for free-roaming cats. This site, which I co-created with 3 awesome classmates, was my final project for The Iron Yard.
