Chinara James, Developer from Trinidad and Tobago

Welcome to BuiltOnAir, a podcast and video series about all things Airtable. Each week, we talk with someone active in the Airtable community to discuss their experiences and showcase an interesting way they’ve used Airtable in their work.This episode features our first international guest – Chinara James, a web developer and Wordpress specialist from Trinidad and Tobago.We talk about what it’s like to teach yourself how to code when you’re on a tiny island in the Caribbean where the developer community is not as vast it is in the United States.Chinara gets into the nitty gritty of her half-work, half-play side project she’s using as motivation to better learn Node.js and delve into Airtable’s API documentation. She built an Airtable base for her advertising agency to track talent data, and she is creating a web portal that will allow actors and singers to easily update and view their information on file. Chinara has some great posts on her exploration of the Airtable API on her blog at https://chinarajames.com/home/Sign up for the BuiltOnAir newsletter! https://builtonair.com.
