About

I studied MIS at Florida State.  During my studies there, I realized that I wasn’t learning all of the useful skills I needed to become a developer or a skilled IT person.  So, I went out looking for an internship/job in the IT field.  I landed a paid ( ) internship with a local publishing company in town.

I was not familiar with any of the languages the IT department was developing in.  After a few months, I was rolling along with ASP and SQL.  That was about two years ago.  Now, I have a full-time developer position at the same company that gave me my start.  We’re moving onto ASP.NET.  I’m working on learning C# and MVP for work.

On the side, I’m trying to broaden my horizons with open source technologies.  I’ve set up my netbook with Ubuntu, so I can learn Linux.  I am making my own website in PHP with a MySQL database, a side project in Joomla, and another side project working with Ruby on Rails.  I’m also trying to brush up on Javascript and CSS.  I’m not much of a designer though.
