Hello.

I am an aspiring web and game developer currently biding my time as a military aviator and mechanic. I hold an AAS from Purdue University Global in Information Technology - Summa Cum Laude. I also have an expansive love of space and rocketry.


My Skills.

Software and Web Development

I started programming when I was 16 years old, in Visual Basic. My first forays into web development was designing webpages in plain text editors on Windows and an old technology called Web TV.

I tinkered with various technologies and languages throughout my adult life. I dived deep into Unity development several years ago and am currently learning Python. I am attending Purdue University Global to obtain my AS in Information technology - Computer Programming.
A not quite comprehensive list of what I have dabbled in includes:

  • Python
  • NodeJS and JavaScript
  • Ruby and Ruby on Rails
  • C# and Unity
  • C++
  • Arduino and associated programming

Military Career

Supporting me while I learn to become a web developer is my career is the US Coast Guard as an Avionics Electrical Technician and aviator. I perform maintenance capabilities and quality assurance on a wide range of avionics, mechanical and electrical systems, and I operate sophisticated command and control and sensor systems as part of my aviation duties.
