I like to create projects and be organized. I completed three Udacity nanodegrees more or less, out of a desire to get my hands dirty with real software engineering after a theoretical computer science degree (taught by academics who haven't worked as software engineers more than 3 months I'm very sorry not sorry we are all the same life forms on earth so I'm just saying it wasn't exactly love of the craft in the same way exactly more like they wanted to dump a bag of bricks called theoretical computer science on unsuspecting 18 year olds and sail off into h-index wonderland).

I have liked analyzing URLs, including a brush with a kiss_of_death entitled Bingo card popup, learning about clear image overlays to prevent photo downloads, reading page source, tumblr css gardens, and attempting very strenuously to use css with html by reading off W3 schools (it took me years of constant repetition to understand css). The second half of my professional and personal story is on my LinkedIn.

I do not know enough depth about most programming languages to have a firm opinion of when and where to use them, but it is a new independent research curio for me to analyze in my free time. At the moment, I am coming up with fun personal projects and discussing open-source contributions on Julia lang tickets.

The interesting party favor tidbits I know are you can disable JavaScript to get past paywalls of the New York Times (maybe should not have directly called them out, but The Washington Post is safe - only New York Times) and create ssh aliases by touch a file somewhere. This was all from an emacs Linux dubious chat forum type of friend in college. They very much bamboozled me for a few years.

By myself, I gleaned from chat forums that you can read The Zen of Python by running python3 or I guess python of course, for the Python REPL and running import this and have done things like fix an accidental hack I found at a YMCA computer the other day.

I reached a pinnacle in art when I created my personal website as an artifact towards writing a good website from scratch that represents me as a person. I have blog posts where I rail against general injustices and the cultural erasure of software engineering by a tech money gold rush and optimistic yet naive permissive and faulty hiring policies on internetthoughts.com.
