Lazztech Hub App Winter Updates 🎄

Leo Lazzarini joining in development!

Leo Lazzarini, my brother, has joined in on the development effort. Since the beginning of the pandemic, he has been working full-time and more on a career change. He has completed an extensive series of full-stack development courses along with additional self-directed learning and multiple portfolio projects.

Throughout this time he and I have spent the evenings & weekends working together through this experience. Over the past couple of months, he has become skilled up with the technologies used to build this app and has joined in on the software development effort.

He has taken several feature & bug tickets. It's been great to have him involved and I'm looking forward to the exciting developments he and I will be making.

His Github account is here if you'd like to check out his activity:
