I'm a Java developer with background in network security from my 5 years in the US Navy. I've developed full stack web applications using Java, Spring MVC, JPA/Hibernate with MySQL database. I'm really interested in any kind of web development opportunity, open to learning more/different technologies, and/or would love to continue down the security path from a development standpoint.

Started out self teaching with some Python. After that I completed some college at University of Hawaii where we worked with Java. Currently I am taking a break from college to attend a 19 week bootcamp (http://skilldistillery.com) where we're learning to build full stack Java applications. Graduate the bootcamp end of November.

What I like most about programming is problem solving. Taking something that seems difficult overall, breaking it down into small pieces, and then figuring out how I can make whatever it is that I want to do--happen. It's fun and rewarding to see the problem, maybe think "Ok this doesn't look easy, but I can do it"... and then figure it out.
