As a kid I always had a fascination for computers and technology. Over the years I kept that fascination as a hobby and worked as a diesel mechanic as well as an infantryman for 5 years. After gaining experience and understanding those very different fields, I finally decided to pursue my passion for computers and technology as career rather than a hobby. Through this newfound idea I discovered Stateful Academy that taught and aided me into the developer I am today. As soon as I discovered and fixed a bug all by myself and created a fully-functioning app by myself, I knew this line of work was for me. I am eager to improve my skills and put them to use in a professional work-environment with like-minded, passionate developers such as myself.
