I began as a software developer with web development, using PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS. From there I began to learn about applications development with C++, but quickly grew to love Python. Over time I've expanded my knowledge to include games development as well as other languages like C#, and a little bit of LISP.
I seek to expand and grow with a great team environment, and make something awesome.
