About Me
I am a self-taught programming student focusing primarily on Javascript and nodeJS with other bits of technology sprinkled in here and there. Before my plunge into coding I was working on NASA's Cassini Mission to Saturn, a very exciting job that introduced me to many Sys. Admins and Software Engineers who inspired me to pursue a career in Software Development. When I am not studying I am usually climbing, fishing, cooking or fixing broken cars/motorcycles.

Education
University of Colorado Boulder
BA •2007
Core curriculum for Pre-Pharmacy/Neuroscience program. General study of Biology, Physics, Math, Chemistry, and my favorite, Organic Chemistry. Though I didn't know it at the time, Organic Chemistry involves a very similar skill set as software engineering. Many different problems to solve and many different ways to solve the problems.
Udemy, Harvard EDX, Linux Foundation and more
C.S., Javascript, NodeJS, Full Stack Web Development •2017 - Now
Around early 2017 while working side by side with many other software engineers, I decided to start a self study of programming. I began with the Harvard EDX CS50 class. After that class I knew I wanted to pursue software engineering. I learned what I could from co-workers and upon mission end I started taking online courses through Udemy and completing personal projects. I continue to take courses daily in hopes of improving my skills as a software developer.
Work
NASA's Cassini Imaging Team
Deputy Director Cassini Imaging Team (ISSOPS)• Aug. 2011 - July 2019 (End of Mission)
An exciting position working on one of NASA's most successful and longest running missions. I was in charge of processing images for web releases, coordinating web projects between JPL and ISSOPS and a project manager for the imaging team, managing up to 10 scientists and software engineers who were developing mission critical software/databases and pointing designs for the spacecraft. In this position I became familiar with Linux cmd line navigation, server maintenance and setup, Javascript, PHP, MySQL navigation, HTML/CSS and IDL.
UCLA Olympic Laboratory
Chemistry Supervisor• 2010 - 2011
Supervised 18+ employees in one of the world's busiest WADA-accredited laboratories. Learned how to manage people more effectively and how work within a large ecosystem consisting of many departments and many different procedures. Lived in a big city, far away from mountains and learned not to live in a big city, far away from mountains.
