It is probably safe to say that I am by no means a traditional technologist. I have a degree in English and French literature, and I’ve spent years in the food service industry. I find, however, that this very difference makes me an invaluable resource to the development community, both at work and at large. These differences, paired with a lifelong curiosity regarding these “thinking machines”, has led me both to my current profession and hobbies.
I am currently employed at the Oregon Health & Science University as a research assistant. I’ve been programming professionally for about 6 years now since moving to Portland.
This blog was started as a way to log the more interesting technical challenges that I run into. I began this while starting classes at PSU in computer science and mathematics. It is my hope that this course work will lead to a graduate degree from the OGI School of Science and Engineering.
