Hi, I'm Anthony

I got tired of reading medical reports and arguing with doctors so I went back to school and got an Associate’s in Computer Science. I’ve built games, mp3 players, and even remote-controlled cars and I am excited to dive into a new career!

About

I’m an aspiring software engineer with a decade of experience in writing and editing. I often felt like a square peg trying to force myself through a round hole so I left the industry to start fresh on a new career path. After graduating summa cum laude with an Associate of Science degree in Computer Science, I am ready to hit the ground running with a renewed passion.

When I am not writing code or learning new skills, I enjoy hikes with my family, tennis, and playing Dungeons and Dragons.
