Writing code is an artform, where I treat every line as a brush stroke.As a child, I discovered coding in a less than standard fashion. It was under my 2 hour timerestriction for video games that I had the idea of getting the computer to play the game for me.After countless error messages that I wouldn't understand for years to come, I had finally compiledsomeones Java source code via the command prompt. The game I was playing had knights and mystical beasts, but what I had just done was more magical to me than any game could offer. With curiosity inthe driver's seat, and my imagination and I riding shotgun, I had found a lifelong passion for programming and reverse engineering code.I've spent many years in reverse engineering communities and have gleaned knowledge from my peers thatI was unable to find in books. Upon learning Java and many other languages, I've also become comfortableworking with code on a low level through bytecode in the JVM, or assembly in multiple architectures.It was with this knowledge that I was able to create my very own game playing robot, and to be ableto program a 3D rendering engine on a monochromatic graphics calculator.Nothing makes me happier than being able to innovate, learn and share this passion with others.Even though projects, sprints and audits all have their end, being a part of a team always guarantees more to be learned, and more code to be written.
