About me
First and foremost, I am very inquisitive, enough to maneuver past the question “will it get done?”, but “how it will get done?”. I take unorthodox approaches in problem solving and my first mobile app after a few months of learning Java, C#, SQL can attest to that. My interest in IT was always present, but it took center stage during my career as an automotive painter and the programs used to mix and log paint jobs were not production friendly and I wanted to contribute the worker rather than the user’s experience to the developing side of IT. The fuel that fed the flames up under my seat for Cyber security was when I experienced a company succumbing to a data breech so I’ve dedicated my free time and professional experience to expanding my knowledge on how to prevent further mishaps.
My 15 years of graphic design experience allow me to be flexible with app development as graphic design could be considered a distant cousin of Information Technology and the need to bring extra help to the projects are nullified by a versatile disposition, just enough to work well with others because I can perceive their view points and empathize with any issues that arise I.E. “Team Player”. My sense of humor coupled with my tenacity and diligence my mother left me garnished respect and praise from Military Generals, Doctors, and Scientist; I’m able to adorn my house with awards that these VIPs furnished my palms with. The United States Air Force gifted me to have a standard of excellence in all that I do so if I should ever have days under the weather I will never falter on the job.
You can catch me watching movies or playing the video games I aspire to create myself one day on the days of relaxation. Traveling has always been on the table in my chosen professions and it helps as a passing therapeutic activity for work, and my teacher always told me “if you love what you do for work, then it’s not ‘work’ anymore. You just get paid to have fun.”. With that being said, exercise is a way of life as I try to keep the momentum of military life to make sure there is a daily routine implemented before the start of the work day as it helps with clarity of thought and mood as we can be high off of endorphins and your day can be difficult to be ruined by anyone. Maintaining a positive outlook on my environments is paramount, but enough about me this is a product you have to see and experience for yourself to believe.
