"I like clean code, and I cannot lie."

There's a deep feeling of "intergalactic oneness and total understanding" that you can only experience when you've successfully debugged all of your code. It's a feeling so satisfying that you find yourself asking, "would I feel even MORE proud if I took on a more complicated project? How much more intricate can we get, exactly? What do I have to learn to get there faster??".

I just love tinkering with code. Looking at other people's code is like peering deep inside their mind; Even the way mundane tasks are written can speak volumes about the person writing them. Every function is like an essay about the task you're developing, and how you view the project.

Shameless plug: I sell my web services. I specialize in Wordpress and Shopify websites, and take on projects big and small - from monthly website updates on small startup sites, to API integration and Plugin development for international franchises - I offer a wide variety of services. More information can be found on my web services over here.

Creative

"The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing"

I was one of those kids who loved to draw. I remember drawing dungeon levels for fictional videogames, and planning out impossible tasks for the player (unless you found the secret item!). Taking an idea, expanding on it, and refining it into existance was something I really enjoyed while growing up.

That passion for creative exploration led me to The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where I graduated with a degree in 3D Animation and Modeling. I specialized in mechanical objects such as cars, jets, and trains. I also spent some time building various roadside "furniture" such as barns, shipping containers, etc.

Personal

"Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?"

This is just a place where I keep personal stuff; gardening projects, cooking adventures, doodles I like - that sort of thing.

It probably warrants it's own sub-site, but who's got time for that these days?
