Hi, my name is
Justin Forlenza
I am a Full Stack Developer & Educator living in New York City, with a passion for developing intuitive solutions for any problem.
About Me
My journey began with a natural curiosity for tinkering with computers, leading me to study Information Technology in high school. This early passion evolved into a career where I've combined hands-on development with educational leadership.
After being recruited into teaching, I spent five years honing both my technical expertise and pedagogical skills, creating a unique bridge between industry and education.
Technology
As a Full Stack Developer, I thrive on creating intuitive solutions for complex problems. My expertise spans modern development stacks—from front-end frameworks like React and Vue to back-end technologies including Python and Rust.
I specialize in building everything from streamlined business applications to sophisticated enterprise solutions, always staying current with emerging technologies and best practices.
Education
At the Brooklyn STEAM Center, I lead the development of innovative tech curriculum that bridges classroom learning with industry needs. My proudest achievement has been creating a comprehensive full-stack development program that prepares students for real-world challenges.
By combining my industry experience with education, I help foster the next generation of technology innovators while maintaining active involvement in the development community.
