About

Hi! I'm a Software Engineer working in C# and .NET. I got my start programming in an obscure game development language called DarkBASIC over a decade ago. From there, I worked my way up to a Master's degree in Computer Science, which I completed with First-Class Honours. As well as working professionally with .NET, I'm also familiar with native, web, and mobile development. I have experience with Java, Python, and Ruby, along with a whole host of other things. I've spent a significant amount of time working with various databases, automated testing, and CI/CD.
