+	  tools and processes. This tool was used to save the company rougly half a
+	  million dollars per year by enabling unused license cleanup with little
+	  operator input. It was deemed appropriately useful to release as free and
+	  open source software. It was written in Rust and operates over the SSH2
+	  library using an undocumented Avaya protocol.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+	Co-authored an authentication/authorization API to specifically serve

+	and delivery, the "12-factor" methodology, and containerization.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+	For multiple years in a row I offered my services for on-site training
+	of new college hires. My responsibilities included mentoring and
+	knowledge sharing for typical industry tools, languages, and frameworks,
+	as well as the inner workings of the company. Classes typically
+	consisted of 20-30 new employees.

+	specifications. Site is a mobile-friendly art gallery with a cart and
+	checkout system. I used Rust and Vue JS for the majority of this
+	project. Functionality was delivered ahead of schedule and I was able to
+	quickly compensate for shifting requirements.
+  </li>
+  <li>Built and maintained a variety of static sites.</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>

+<h2>Academic History</h2>
+
+<p>
+  I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and graduated from the

+  testing and presided over the campus Game Design Club.

+<h2>About Me</h2>
+
+<p>
+  I wrote my first program on a TI-84 in BASIC to help finish my high school
+  math homework faster. I quickly transitioned to building more complicated
+  programs but have continued to enjoy finding the smallest amount of code to
+  solve a problem quickly, correctly, and securely.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  I grew up in and still call Hampton Roads, Virginia my home. In my spare time
+  I drive and maintain a classic car, a 1953 Hudson Hornet. I enjoy travelling
+  and being at home with my wife and cocker spaniel. I also self-host a web
+  server in a closet in my home.
