[Chicago] Freelance Work

[Hector Rios]

Hey Aaron,

I came from a similar background: I have a math and an acturial science
background.

I would suggest going to local meetups such as ChiHackNight
<http://chihacknight.org> or the Python project nights. That way you can
ask for help from local Pythonistas and perhaps even get a mentor.

Speaking of mentors, keep an eye out for the next ChiPy mentorship program.
That would be an excellent place to get a mentor to build skills.

Cheers,
