I have recently completed an intensive Java Development bootcamp program, and am currently working to break into the software engineering field. A lifelong programmer, I started learning to write code in C64 BASIC as a small child, moved to C++ in my teenage years, and took a variety of college classes in coding and computer science subjects throughout my 20s, supplemented by independent learning projects. Meanwhile, I developed strong skills in communication, teamwork, creative thinking, adaptability, and dynamic problem solving over the course of widely varied 20-year career of event staffing, gigs, and short term work in the entertainment, hospitality, and customer service industries. Now, I am working to grow my 25+ years of coding experience and familiarity with fundamental programming concepts into the foundation of a stable career.As I continue to grow in my career path, I have particularly strong interests in exploring topics related to the advancement of privacy and information security, decentralized internet platforms, open source software development, game development, digital audio software, and rapid disaster response.GitHub: https://github.com/RBJ-DevGoogle Developer Profile: https://g.dev/RBJ-Dev
