Initially thinking I would go into the computer industry, I entered Purdue University's freshmen honors engineering program right after high school. During my time at Purdue, I took courses in analog and digital circuit analysis and design, as well as computer programming courses. These were, of course, on top of the regular battery of math and science classes and the occasional general education class. Outside of the classroom and my music activities, I managed to find the time to learn some other useful computing skills in scripting languages, databases, Linux, and other Unix-based operating systems.
I have had work experience as a research computing system administrator, web site administrator and programmer, and contracted webmaster. I am currently hoping to start up some a couple of side projects, but need to finish some other things to make time for such endeavors. Here is a partial list of my work experience.
