I have been programming since 1984. I've written code in Various versions of Basic, Pascal, HyperCard (HyperTalk language), 68000 and 68020 assembly, 386 and 486 assembly, C (Command line apps, JNI with Java, and microcontrollers), C++ (Command line, JNI with an Android app), C# (Mostly translated from C# to C or Java), Java (Web applets, Swing, Android), Kotlin (Android), VisualBasic, ASP Pages, CGI Pages in Perl, Mumps, Cache, SQL, AutoLisp (AutoCAD), Javascript (mostly just on web pages), OpenGLSL (3D game programming), OpenSCAD, Bash, a little Python and Swift, some proprietary languages for computerized mills and lathes, programmable calculators, programming games, a few languages I wrote myself, and maybe some others I can't remember off hand.

I have used / written JSON, XML, HTML, CSS, TCP, ODBC, RSA, ECC, and AES encryption, OpenGL, AIDL, JNI, Bluetooth and BLE communication between devices and Android apps I wrote, WiFi device communication, HTML (REST) and TCP (Binary data) servers from scratch, STL and OBJ files, maybe some others.

I've used, or am using Git, Eclipse, Android Studio, NetBeans, Visual Studio, Android OS, Many Linux Distros, MacOS from about version 4.x, Windows from version 3.x (Though my experience is limited), DOS, DEC Alpha mainframe (at school and BECU), TRS-80 Models 1, 4, and Color 2 (my first personal computer).

My dad was an electrician and tried getting me into electronics. Though that never stuck much, especially since I'm colorblind, I do still play around with it.

I have worked with / for Boeing, BECU, Microsoft, Intel, GoPro, and many others.

For about 5 years, I was a long-haul truck driver. I have my class A CDL with Hazmat, Tanker, and triples endorsements. I let the Hazmat lapse, since you have to do a background check and retake all the tests every few years to keep it up to date.

I also like learning about Herbs, both edible and medicinal, learning and practicing survival skills (making fire, stone tools, rope, snares, shelters, etc), learning how to smelt iron and blacksmith, learn about rock climbing and paragliding, practicing knots, drawing, sculpting (both clay and stone), practicing tae kwon do, and generally reading about new things and learning anything interesting.

Lately I got a couple pack goats and take them on walks until they're big enough to go on some long hikes.

In case you can't tell, I may have a bit of an addiction to learning new skills. I find it more entertaining to learn how to make a rope net, than to watch the latest drama on TV.
