Over 15 years of professional real world work experience. I've made a career out of being a machinist and welder. However computers and software have been my true passion and I'm making the professional career switch now. I have a strong base in Java with a firm grasp on OOP in general and experience with html, css, xml, sql, python, javascript, and version control using git.

I took some college in Dallas, but attained most of my knowledge through online resources. I've been able to use video lectures and test material from MIT, Stanford, Princeton, and various other colleges to round out my academic foundation. My first coding experience was back in 2004 with Myspace.com learning to use html, css, and javascript among others.

Programming is wonderful because no machine will ever get mad at you for over explaining instructions. The nature of our professional field gives us an incredibly vast amount of information and resources at our fingertips.
