About Me

I am a Computer Programmer. I like playing with and messing with computers. I have a fascination of taking things apart and dissecting them. I like seeing the individual parts and I love the fact that a single part means nothing, but put it all together and it becomes something that has value.

Separated, they mean nothing.

Together, they create something.

An example of that can be shown by the experiences I had being the head person in charge of creating a yearbook in High School.  Being the head person in charge was not easy to do because I was the one everyone looked to for answers. I had to be able to answer a student’s question even if I did not know the answer myself. I had to find the answer and get back to the person as soon as I could because working with Yearbook was all about working on a deadline. If I missed a day, there would be a late charge for every day I missed.  It did not help that I had to be familiar with programs such as InDesign and Photoshop, and along with that, I had to have an eye for photography and design. But, I managed. I worked through each deadline, practiced the programs until I was familiar with them, and during my free time I would look at magazines to get a better understanding of design and photography. I persevered and stayed resilient and on task because there was no alternative. I hate to fail.

This is an example of something my team and I came up with in a day.

Working with teams throughout my High School and College life has given me perspective on who I am when I am working. Who I am breaks down to the following:

-        I am direct and straightforward with what I want to accomplish and I have a clear understanding that screwing up can significantly hurt a business.

-       The end goal is that the project gets done, I do not care if I get recognition or not, I just want the results.

-        I keep level headed when a problem comes up because I know there is a solution and all I need to do is try taking a different approach to the problem.

-        I care about how the final product looks. I appreciate good design and I want the final product to meet my standards.

      My goal in the next 5 years is to be directing my own team on a big project. I want to be the example of which my team follows. I want my team to get its strength from how hard I am working. When the leader of a group is hard at work and suffering like the rest of the group, I believe it brings up the moral of the group since the group understands that the leader is willing to get his hands dirty also.
