Nagale

Chicago-born, Iowa-raised, Los Angeles-seasoned, and now New York City-flavored, Sonyl Nagale started his career as a graphic designer focusing on web, which led down the slippery slope to becoming a full-stack technologist instead. With an eye toward the client use case and conversation with the creative side, he prides himself on taking a holistic approach to software engineering. Having worked at start-ups and global media companies using a variety of languages and frameworks, he likes solving new and novel challenges. Passionate about education, he's always excited to have great teachable moments complete with laughter and seeing the Aha! moments in students eyes.
