I have a central philosophy that most issues arise from unquestioned answers. These are often "solutions" we employ despite not knowing or understanding the problem that actually needs to be addressed. My years as a science and math student, a teacher, a researcher, a musician, and a programmer endowed me with the ability to make sure the problem is recognized and understood so I don't fall back to assumptions that will ultimately lead to more issues.I bring this analytical approach to everything I do, which is now focused on all aspects of programming; whether in a professional setting or just as a hobby, I've been able to enter many fields of the tech industry equipped with just my time, current knowledge, and eagerness to learn more.In short, throw me a problem and I'll give you a true solution!
