Skills
Languages
Although I have written in over 20 languages, I consider my expertise to be in C/C++/Pro*C, Objective-C, Java, Perl, and PHP. Learning new languages and software is always fun and is a big part of what makes my job so enjoyable.
Databases
Databases have become a common part of software. I have extensive experience in Oracle and MySQL. Database and query optimization could make technology a faster, more enjoyable experience.
Soft Skills
I have led multiple teams, spoken at conferences, presented at trainings, taught college courses, and even traveled out of state to troubleshoot a problem before. Delivering software on time, with constant feedback to superiors, is crucial for any developer.
EDUCATION
The foundation for my software knowledge started when I got a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from Florida State University in 2003. It has since expanded since then due to numerous classes, trainings, conferences, projects, and late-night coding adventures.

Nole
I graduated from Florida State University with a BS in Computer Science in 2003 with a Mathematics Minor. I was a Bright Futures Scholar, a member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tallahassee, and a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
After graduating with my Bachelor's, I began pursuing a Master's Degree. I was a Teaching Assistant for a Java class at FSU for the first semester. The 2nd semester I became the teacher of the same Java class, which meant I was responsible for 49 students and 2 TA's.
Upon leaving Tallahassee I followed a girl to Orlando and it was the best decision I ever made. That girl is now my wife and she has given me two wonderful kids that are the greatest joys of my life. I look forward to still growing, both personally and professionally, as I make my way through this thing called life.
