I am a Software Developer in beautiful Colorado with a wife (praise Jesus, how did that happen?!) and a cat. I love the problem-solving aspects of programming and the satisfaction that comes from developing a clean, clever, and efficient solution to a challenge.
I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Mathematics minor from UCCS, and several years of professional programming experience. I find software development in a professional environment to be extremely fulfilling, especially when you can see the positive effects of something you have created.
I desire to constantly be sharpening and honing my craft while expanding my knowledge with new technologies and languages; and I'm never opposed to constructive criticism if it means I grow from the experience (unless that constructive criticism involves where I put my curly braces).
Languages I use
(In order of strength)
- Javascript, JQuery, AngularJS
- Python 2&3
- C# and the .NET framework
- C++
- Java
- ActionScript 2 & 3 (Went through a HUGE Flash game dev phase)

Art Stuffs
I used to do quite a bit of Digital Illustration and even some 2D animation for a while there, but not so much any more. When I was doing that stuff though, I was using:

- Photoshop CS5
- Adobe Illustrator CS5
- Procreate (iOS application that runs MIND-BLOWINGLY well on a first gen iPad)
