Loop Media was created to write and read about what’s happening around the world, without algorithms deciding what content you consume or language barriers.
I was inspired by the team’s mission and helped code the website alongside fantastic developers, designers, and writers. During this time, I was mentored by Ira Sanchez, whose guidance and philosophy were key to my growth as a person and developer.
