Mostly my personal GitHub profile is for working on personal projects. While I am (usually) a professional software developer, I enjoy programming as a hobby as well. Most of my projects are my way of scratching my own itch, which is why some are not for "mass consumption" or my own take on [much better, well-maintained project]. It's soothing like knitting or maybe baking. Some projects I'm particularly proud of are:
For my personal projects, I mostly program in Python. It is my go-to programming language. If programming languages were guitars then Python would be my Lucille (although I'm certainly no King). I do, however, know and occasionally enjoy such other programming languages as:
- JavaScript: Can't work the web without JavaScript. But mostly I like working in Node.js.
- Go: I haven't done much with Go but there are definately some things I like about it especially its underlying philosophy(ies).
- Zig: I actually haven't done anything with Zig yet, but it looks awesome.
- C#: A while back I taught myself C#. That's about it.
- C: I appreciate that every time I learn a new language and then look at C I feel I know and appreciate it more. C is as ubiquitous as it is underappreciated. Like Grandma (Thanks Grandma).
- MUMPS: Don't ask.
I have a lot of gratitude for many things past and present, including:
- Boscov's at the Dover Mall. Believe it or not, the personal computers on display at the Boscov's department store is actually how I first learned to program computers.
- Coach John Hollis for his encouragement, support and believing in me.
- Mr. Keith O'neal for giving me so many opportunities and kickstarting my career.
- And, of course, Grandma.
