Resume

"Coder. Writer. Gamer. Nerd." is the tagline for my website and email signature, identifying the main portions of my personality. "Coder" is listed first due to my childhood spent in front of and surrounded by computers, which I discuss in Part 1 of my introduction posts. My education and profession as a software developer simply solidified that particular ID. Peruse through my professional resume! There is a .pdf version as well.
