About Me
Please select a year.
2009 – 2015I am a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in Industrial technology with a focus on computer networking. I attended Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and focused my education on Information Technology. I attended Object Oriented Programming, and Web Technology Courses. Progressing forward with my life and education, I continued my studies and graduated from Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) in May 2009. At Central Connecticut State University I geared my education toward Network Administration and Network Security.
Over the next four years I broadened my perspective and took both business and technology courses. I attended courses where I learned about OSHA and business management. Although business was interesting my main focus was on computers and the rapidly evolving technologies of the world. My core work was related to the Cisco Network Academy Program 1 and 2 (CCNA), Security+ Guide to Network Security, and the Fundamentals of Digital Circuits.
My daily schedule ranged from morning Network Architecture and Internet Programming to afternoon Digital Circuits and Web Technologies. Following a Networking Technology Lab class dedicated to hands on routers, hubs, switching, network administration and security.
I enjoy learning and exploring for new areas of knowledge every day. I am a well-rounded, punctual person with great attention to detail and a minor case of organizational OCD. I'm a visual, hands on, do-it-yourself-learner with technical and mechanical talents.
I've had an interest in web design and development for years. When I was only in middle school I can remember printing off HTML tutorials and teaching myself how to write code. I learned early and developed important coding skills naturally. I also remember programming in QBasic on my 7th grade school computers. I've come a long way since then but few things still remain the same, my joy of computing and my love of problem solving.
I consider myself a freelance web application developer with a wide range of tools. I can code and develop in multiple computer languages. I can create visual and effective websites, some as simple as a billboard; some more complex like a shopping cart application. I also have a computer networking background so I'm capable of implementing a network, a server, and a web server, even a virtual server at that. And because I can do all of this, I to can basically become virtual. I can work from anywhere around the world as long as there is a decent Internet connection. But thanks to today's technologies, my cell phone is now my own personal working hot-spot connection. Making me completely mobile and a very talented individual with a very unique set of skills. But as we know in today's world a full-time in-office position with a desk works best.
Today, I'm very eager to continue my education. There is so much information just waiting to be discovered in this world and so much knowledge to learn from it all. This ever so changing world impresses me daily with how fast technology can develop into something new. Today's advances bring tomorrow's technologies, but the future is yours to develop.
Please check back for more, as you know everything is constantly changing.
