Mission
Programming, to me, is the canvas on which to illustrate. I
am passionate about coding, and would like to paint upon that canvas with optimal algorithms, mathematical analysis, and artistry. I love to cooperate and cultivate input from as many viewpoints as possible, so that the technology I help create will best represent the community as a whole. I care about creating a friendly and compassionate work place environment that myself and my coworkers can share. I will attack problems relentlessly, and find excitement in challenging myself and learning along the way.

training and teaching. The program gives students the devices to learn and integrate practically any new technology and teaches valuable soft skills, agile development, and the intricacies of object oriented programming and design.
Front Range Community College
Applied Mathematics
Front Range offered an introductory understanding of programming and C++, and aided in the development of mathematical, analytical, and peripheral skills. I hope to eventually complete my Bachelor's degree, and press on into a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics.
