Young Me - Will get this updated.  lil older but still cooking!

Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.
– Edsger Dijkstra

Software Engineering and I.T.

I had found that I developed a love for computing since I was a child, where I would play older hand-me-down video games I received from my older brother. These games were often pumped out quickly with little testing. As such, discovering odd behaviors found in each game’s software was always fun and rewarding. Learning how each event and action taken by the player could result in astounding glitches or efficient play inspired me to research computing. I extended my learning to a variety of different areas of computer technology from Web Scripting, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, and Software Development.
