About Me

I am a very helpful person and enjoy explaining my craft to people. I have always found computers and logic to be fascinating and love coming up with analogies to help relate the topics to people. I am a very practice coder. I can help any entry level programmer; as well as, challenge advance coders to push them to the next level. I've built an ALU from scratch and created my own IDE. I've solved intractable problems on a professional level. I've worked with computer vision on a collegiate level and some personal projects in my spare time. There is not a day that goes by that I'm not reusing my fundamentals in my day-to-day work; be it programming, analyzing, or software architecture. I have been programming since I was 6 years old (1987). I first started programming in BASIC on a TI-99 computer. I formally began my education in 1998 in high school studying C++ and assisted my classmates in their studies. I was instrumental in the formation of a 3D design class using 3D Studio Max software in 1999. I am a Texas Tech graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. My most notable course work included data structures, artificial intelligence, and computer graphics (OpenGL).I have been working within my industry since 1997 spanning languages such as Assembly, ASP.net, C, C++, and C#. I am well versed in scripting languages such as PHP and Javascript. I have even done extensive work with Adobe Flash software. I currently dedicate most of my time to development with HTML5 combining server-side technology in conjunction with the Canvas element to create a rapid prototype IDE.I have worked with teams and managed them as well. I have been instrumental in communicating development cycle to upper management in clear and concise ways. I can break down a topic from complex higher understanding to layman's terms. Throughout my career, I have ensured that myself and co-workers are practicing solid programming fundamentals. This ensures quality work and readable, reusable code. If you have me as a tutor, I will make sure you leave with a solid understanding, and share tools and methods that will help integrate your skills into the work force.
