A bit about me

I studied classical guitar performance at Ball State University before working for a local municipality where I gained experience in building maintenance and HVAC. I went on to work as an HVAC controls technician, which was a blast! However, with a firm goal to become a software developer, I completed bachelor's degrees in Math through Indiana University and Software Development through Western Governor's University. I currently study at Kenzie Academy, a code academy in Indianapolis, IN.

This is the number of legs that I have.

2!

& this is the number of arms that I have.

Also 2!

& this is the number of heads that I have.

Only 1.


Current status as a developer

For the near future, much of the code found in my repositories will be learning exercises, but hopefully some real projects will take seed soon.

Aspirational / Goals

I am working to gain a profiency in building solutions that leverage the architecture of the web. I know that is vague and corny, but give me a few months and I'll have better specifics. I also hope to learn to develop attractive websites, so expect to see some improvements to this page's appearance over the coming weeks.

Projects that I hope to become involved with:

  • FreeBSD -- I admire the community around FreeBSD and hope to become involved in the project.
  • INPAWS -- It's not just about flowers! Ecological carrying capacity relies on the relationships between plants and insects, which makes native plants a foundation for the entire environment.
  • MORE -- In many ways, I am seeking my muse. While I have ideas of what I want to do, I suspect I will find a different path than I am able to imagine.

Important things to remember:

  1. The sun rises in the east.
  2. The sun sets in the west.
  3. The moon is denser on one side.
  4. Most of us are also denser on one side.
  5. Moon jokes are rarely funny.
