Hi. I'm Solar Olugebefola

A web developer interested in functional things.

My background is in Materials Engineering, but now I build things online.

My serious interest in the web began in graduate school, when I was tasked with building my research group's website. I taught myself HTML, CSS, and Javascript while sitting, waiting for data from an atomic force microscope.

In the past few years I learned other object-oriented languages like Python and then went full-bore into the back and front ends.

I am comfortable working in highly interdisciplinary, highly collaborative teams both large (managing a laboratory with 8 professors, innumerable postdocs, grad students and undergraduates) and small (co-running the annual MIT climbing competition).

I am looking for the next challenge, the next opportunity to learn, and most importantly the chance to apply my skills towards making something invaluable.

See some of my recent work.
