I have been working with computers for most of my life. I was lucky that while growing up they were always available to me. Programming has been what I wanted to do since I was a kid and I have been working toward that ever since. I have worked with many languages and tools but am never done learning. I can pick up any new technology or language and within a short period of time know it very fluently. I am an easy to get along with person capable of working with groups or motivating myself on personal projects. I have designed projects from the ground up and worked with a team to meet deadlines and deliver above expectations
