As far back as second grade, I have been interested in mathematics. I took every available math course in high school and went off to college for business. I figured that I would be able to apply my analytical skills towards the business world, but it did not quite fall into place as I had originally intended. While in college, I would put together very basic web sites for friends and I also managed to get a few gigs along the way. It took me a little over two years in college before I realized that computer science was my calling.
After gaining some corporate experience in quality assurance for two years, I was no longer going to let my passion for web development remain on the side. The gigs became more frequent and more lucrative, and I decided to make the leap and become an entreprenuer. These last three years have been quite a rollercoaster ride, and there is no way that I could have done this without the support of my family and friends.
Starting out, the bulk of my work was in web design, but as new client requests came in, I had to adapt, and the majority of the requests were for additional functionality. This was great as I was able to constantly be challenged with development tasks which would sharpen my skills, and eventually shape me into the web developer I am today.
