Not necessarily in that order.
I've explored just about every facet of the workforce from working in food service and construction to being a college professor and many stops in between.
It's all been a wonderful journey and each step has given me something to learn from.
I love to travel. I've been to ~25 countries and 49 US states and hopefully those numbers will be higher by the time we talk.
I use and love VIM. If that's a problem for you, you are a horrible person and we're better off not meeting.
Optimal benchmarked code, optimal algorithms, sub-optimal hairdo.
Do not confuse this with "coffee snob"; I drink it all, from Kirkland Signature to Comet Coffee.
Pretty much your average Joe. Married with two beautiful kids. I served over 21 years in the Navy/Navy Reserve. I put myself through college all the way to the terminal degree in computer science. I work hard and spent many years playing hard. I hate sci-fi. I love dogs.
Polyglot who loves to code.
I have traveled a lot, I work for a travel website and I intend to do extensive traveling in the future.
Algorithms should be optimal and clean.
