• Biography

  I started programming on a TI‑99/4A when I was about 8 years old.
  I learned how to build computers during an internship with a technology company in Washington DC.
  I started my career in the technology industry as a desktop support technician at a large hospital.
  I took a simulation analyst position with a defense contractor working in a simulation lab.
  While working for the defense contractor, I started developing video games as a hobby.
  I took a year off and traveled to Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, and Poland.
  I took a position as a software developer for the County government.
  I accepted a software engineering position with a software development company in Austin.
  I am currently enrolled in Purdue and working on a Master's degree in Industrial Engineering and Computer Science.
  I have successfully completed the Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence online courses taught by Peter Norvig and Andrew Ng.
  I am interested in all aspects of simulation and software development, and welcome any opportunity to pursue new avenues of mastery.
