About

I have experience as a Web Developer and Computer Systems Analyst. I have worked primarily with PHP, MySQL, Linux, JavaScript, AJAX, Java, Spring Framework and Python. I also have experience with computer hardware, networking, and computer troubleshooting on any operating system.

I pursue many side projects to continue to learn new programming languages and technologies. I'm very proud of my app that shows real time information about the Albuquerque bus system, and it is used by at least 300 people every weekday.

My life as a programmer began in 2005 when I got my first book about PHP. I had been working on building my own computer as a hobby and I wanted to create a website that allowed the user to configure their own custom computer. The website also incorporated a MySQL Database. Maintaining that website continued as a hobby and I also taught myself some Javascript and C++. My in-depth exposure to programming began in 2008 at Washington University in St Louis where I began learning Java. I learned the importance of Algorithms and Object Oriented Programming and I was around other students who had programmed as a hobby. I have not earned my degree yet, but I feel I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience from college.

I began to have an interest in iPhone Apps in 2009 and I started working on an App for the game Diplomacy, which I have been interested in for a long time. Later, when I got back to my home state of New Mexico, I decided to work on some free apps to get my name out as a developer. I made an app to show the schedule for the New Mexico Rail Runner, and in the summer of 2012 I participated in a hackathon where my team decided to work on a Bus tracking app based on the GPS data that the city of Albuquerque had recently made available. We created a web version at the hackathon and I have since made an android version. My current side project is making the iPhone version of the bus app.
