My first introduction to programming was Lego MindStorms, and programming slowly grew on me from there. I started out with Java, used C# professionally, and eventually settled on Python as my preferred language. I also enjoy working with web tech.
At Level 12 my primary responsibility is to solve business problems by developing and improving web applications. In addition, I aim to serve my teammates and make them more productive in whatever way possible.

There are many, but Isaiah 1:18 stands out:

they shall become like wool.
What's your goal in life?
To serve the purpose of God in my generation, and help those around me do the same.
