About Me
Throughout my life I have always loved computers and programming. When I was a child I programmed my first BASIC program that told a personalized fortune. I earned a masters in English at The Pennsylvania State University. After that I studied science and biology and went on to recieve an OD from the Ohio State University. Now, I have returned to programming. After loading Eclipse and Java on my computer, I starting to make some simple programs.
I love making programs and seeing them work. I love learning. The constant change involved in technology is exciting and in a good way a little overwhelming. After my informal Java experiments in 2017, I enrolled at Columbus State Community College to complete the coursework for the Software Developer Certificate. Since then, I have continued to take online classes. I have found all the programming languages that I have studies so far interesting including SQL, Java, and .NET. Recently I have been working on JavaScript full stack development. I've started exploring JS based frameworks like react and react-native.
