About Me
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
— J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Fellowship of the Ring"
My Background
My passion for technology began early in life. At age 7, I was already fascinated by computers and what they could create. By 15, I was building my first PC from scratch— troubleshooting hardware compatibility issues and learning valuable problem-solving skills along the way.
This early experience taught me to methodically analyze problems, research solutions, and implement fixes—skills that directly translate to my work in web development and data analysis today. My natural curiosity and determination to understand how systems work continues to drive my professional development.
Being able to create content, and have it consumed by people around the world has it's challenges, but that is what makes it so attractive to me as a career path.
My Learning Philosophy
Since we are in the age of A.I. and its rapidly evolving capabilities. I've decided that I want to be at the forefront of that change. I've taken past knowledge of coding in Python learned from Codecademy while simultaneously typing the book Learn Python the Hard Way as a foundation for a "can and will do" attitude, which I used to make small automated functions which could be imported into a .py file to help create a shopping list maker, complete with a cost estimator and email function.
I then used Python with Django to make web apps for a personal blog. What I lacked then that are making this possible are my current Mentors and Several LLMs' which have expedited the learning process and have focused my learning path around in demand skillsets.
Current Focus
Currently I am focused on bringing 4 separate projects which build sequentially in complexity and off of one another. I'm checking my work against multiple LLMs and original documentation, implementing proper code notation (commenting) so others can easily alter or add to my code, and also following proper naming conventions to cement the large amount of information I have been absorbing.
A.I. can currently do some amazing things, but what it is lacking in (proper management, vision, direction) is where I find not only my focus, but passion as well. The more knowledge I gain, the more I am able to teach others, which is a benefit of being focused on the details of this soon to be large portfolio of experience.
