Programming

I'm currently starting my 5th year as a Software Engineering student at Cal Poly, the best university around. ;) I'm employed part-time as a "code frog" (yes, that is my title) at iFixit.

PHP was my first true programming language that I spent any time with, and it was my primary until the summer after my freshman year of university, when I started working for the College of Engineering on Django-powered websites. Python has been my primary language since then, although I'm finding myself writing more and more in Ruby, because it's so damn fun!

I am also acquainted in various degrees with HTML, CSS, Javascript (mostly with jQuery), Java, C, Lua and Scheme. I am learning Scala next, and possibly Haskell, D or Factor after that, but plans tend to get altered as time passes.

Other than the work that I did for Cal Poly, and most class assignments, all of my code is available on my GitHub account.

Personality

On the DISC view of the universe, I have a natural ranking of 100 S and C, 23 D and 7 I, which puts me as a pure Coordinator. While not a natural leader in any way, I'm rebellious enough to tell the project lead (plainly) when I think they've made a poor choice, but passive enough to follow their final decisions.

While many people may find me a bit odd (I have a tendency to keep to myself, and have been known to go through a course without ever speaking a word), it is rare to find someone who dislikes me.

I maintain a list of books I've recently read.
