Samurai coder in training rapidly gaining skill sets!
Born in the very heart of silicon valley. I have been tapping away on keyboard since before I could tell my left from my right. My passion for literature has translated over to programming books most recently. I have always have had a strong facilitation for the abstract as well as higher mathematics.
I excel at following my heart and intuition.
A stalwart work ethic.
To me coding is magic that works, when bugs are absent.
I have more then a few weaknesses but I try to embrace them.
My education it pretty straight forward, I went to public school till the 8th grade. Then private school till my high school graduation. Followed by junior college, then my time at the local California university. I ardently believe received a top quality education.
