About Me

I'm your archetypal full-stack software engineer. I live, work and breathe code. I've been programming in some fashion since I opened Mike's Custom Computers & Repairs when I was 15. I have now shipped custom programs to several high profile clients, often an interface to bridge their legacy failure rate data with their new data.
