I first got into programming in middle school. My good friend made lots of cool games on his TI-83+ Graphing Calculator, and I wanted to learn to do it too, so I managed to find my older brother's old TI-83 and started learning to program it. A couple of years later, my brother-in-law gave me an old computer with Ubuntu (I think it was like 8.02 that was out then) and over the next couple of years I would occasionally mess with it. Over time I learned enough Java to call myself proficient, and I also did some C programming in my high school robotics club.

During college I worked as a Python Developer for the University's Network Engineering group. During that time I wrote a basic SNMP library for python which can be found at https://pypi.org/project/snmp or on my GitHub page. It's due for an overhaul, but it's not a priority right now.

Upon graduating college (BS - Computer Science), I took a position with IM Flash Technologies (bought out by Micron Technology shortly thereafter) writing software to do wafer-level testing of their cutting edge 3D X-Point memory. I spent two years designing and writing a replacement for the existing test framework, which was ready just in time for Micron to discontinue 3D X-Point.

In October of 2021 I began a new Software Engineer role with the Platform team at Real-Time Innovations Inc.
