Being able to see the project as a whole gives me an advantage over specialists who can only handle one piece.

What About College?

Yes, this question always comes up and I only answer reluctantly because of the school's reputation.  I attended DeVry on a CIS track, which was a breeze for most because they didn't have to learn anything to get their degree (which is why DeVry has a bad reputation and their degree is mostly worthless).  I spent my time becoming an expert in the curriculum to tutor my classmates in exchange for food and gas money because I was poor and there were no grants for me. The CIS track put me through progressive courses in COBOL, which I was able to use professionally only once.  I learned how to learn a programming language and some basic software design guidelines.  Please don't hold it against me, their reputation wasn't bad when I enrolled in the early 90s.

Personal Projects

I'm currently working on a project called "Carry Texas," which aims to provide comprehensive training and resources for individuals looking to obtain their security licenses. I'm also exploring ways to incorporate my passion for diving and conservation into future projects.
