I am an engineer at a small software company and do small contract jobs. I work primarily in developing external web and WPF applications using MVC / ASP.NET / C#, which I have been doing since April 2015. Prior to that, I was a Software Engineer at a food production company (C#/MVC/ASP.NET for intranet applications from July 2013 to April 2015) and at a manufacturing company (ADO.NET / VB.NET / VB6 from January 2011 until July 2013). I attended Oregon State University and Linn-Benton Community College where I studied Chemistry, Zoology, and Computer Science.

I am well versed with the .NET framework and am fairly familiar with Java and C++. I enjoy coding and try to learn new languages and techniques as often as possible. I attend seminars such as the Portland Code Camp and SQL Saturday, as well as .NET user group meetings and SQL PASS meetings.

I operate a small homestead on the outskirts of Salem, OR and blog about my adventures on my personal website [www.priddyacres.com][1] [1]: http://www.priddyacres.com . I spend my off hours riding my Harley, maintaining a one acre garden/orchard, several honeybee hives, and a working in my blacksmith shop.
