<p>
I am a computer programmer who has been developing and maintaining native and
web applications since 2018. I have also provided freelance systems
administration services and technical mentoring since 2016.
</p>
<p>
I am fluent in Rust, C#, Python, PHP, JavaScript, Bourne Shell, and HTML+CSS.
</p>
<p>
I am also familiar with Java, C, C++, and TypeScript. I have
used a variety of frameworks and libraries, as well as a myriad of web
servers, databases, and "DevOps" platforms.
</p>
<p>
I aim to create simple, performant, and well-documented software that solves
real problems with no surprises.

<h2>Academic History</h2>
<div class="horiz">
<h3><em>William & Mary</em> B.S. Computer Science</h3>
<h3>Class of 2018, Williamsburg, VA</h3>
</div>
<p>
I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the College of William
and Mary. While there, I participated in several group software development
projects such as hybrid Android application testing and presided over the
campus Game Design Club.
</p>
<hr />
<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.
</p>
<p>
I keep a <a href="https://www.53hor.net">public journal on my web site</a>.
