Hi, I'm Jillian -- a self-taught developer based in the US.


I started learning programming from scratch in 2019 via Ruby (and Rails). 
Throughout 2020, I worked with a small development agency to build WordPress and Shopify sites for a variety of clients.

Since 2021, I have been working with a full-service Shopify agency, building and expanding sites for dozens of eCommerce merchants.

I love chatting about learning programming, video and board games, or airplane forensics.
You can reach me anytime by email at jillianlwerner {at} gmail {dot} com.
