I have 10+ years of experience in Software Development, which dates back to 2011 when I attended my first
programming class in high school.
Since then, I have remained engaged with some kind of development project: a school/college assignment for
example, a personal hobby project, or a large project during an internship or full-time position.
I have 5+ years of industry experience helping teams engineer these larger projects. I've have worked on
both front-end and back-end web service applications, so I consider myself a Full Stack Developer.
Software Development is my favorite area of computing and I have the most experience with it.
However, I have also worked within the realms of DevOps Engineering, Systems Administration, and IT Support.
The following is a list of my relevant experiences in the IT industry thus far.
