Python development has long been an area where I hope to improve. Over the years my skills have certainly lost their polish, but they remain in-tact. One of my earliest projects was a python3 php file parser. Intended as a simple way to extract comments for use in a web base wiki, it was a fun project that taught me a lot. Most recently (2020) I had the pleasure of building out a lambda function for ip lookups. While small, the project was a great reminder of how much fun the language is.

My lua experience while limited is currently very fresh. In November I built and add-on for the massively popular online game "World of Warcraft". The game provides an in-game api and allows users to build interfaces in lua that interact with that API to expand game functionality. Its a small exploration but I have every intention of expanding on and improving the add-on in the coming months.

Full stack developer is somewhat implied for all of the positions listed on my resume. In this industry I have met very few people who wouldn't fall into that category, but its not wrong. From the earliest days of the internet I have had a website or multiple. Usually hosted on the cheapest provider I could find and with little to no support to speak of. In my career I have worked mostly with small companies and startups. In the environment where no-one is an expert, you have to have a working knowledge of just about everything.

Personally, I have never been a great student. I obtained my high school Diploma in 2010, the same year I began community college in pursuit of a Computer Science degree. After two years of college, i dropped out without completing my degree.

As a developer, I am entirely self taught. While traditional education eludes me, I have always been incredibly capable in pursuits I turn my attentions to. I have continued my personal education for 34 years, continuing to learn new languages and methods as well as improving the multitude of skills I have obtained throughout my life and career. ...

As part of my Client work with Black Airplane, I built out several stripe payment portals for various needs. Feel free to review my Stripe Professional Developer Certificate.
