I am a Kentucky native attending University of Louisville: J.B. Speed School of Engineering for a Computer Engineering/Computer Science degree. Currently I am only in my first year, but my experience programming goes back to the ripe age of eleven. My choice programming language is C++, but I also delve into C# with need calls. I love to make business-oriented software and have made student tracking software for my local martial arts school, as well as databases for my high schools sports teams to track their players scores. I have played with these languages at least once: ASM, C, C++, Delphi, Java, C++.NET, VB, VB.NET, C#, HTML, and PHP. In my major, I plan to specialize in Information Systems Security, as I have been practicing reverse code engineering for the past four years (getting close to five). My career plans are to become either a malware analyst or a secure network engineer/administrator. In my personal life, I enjoy hiking (as one could probably guess from my photographs), guitaring, cubing, and martial arts. As far as my guitaring goes, I've been playing for the past three years, and I often upload recordings on YouTube. I've been cubing for the past two years with my best time at 43.5 seconds. Martial arts is the next biggest part of my life, as I have been in it since I was ten. I have been teaching classes for the past 4 years, and currently hold 1st dan in Tae Kwon Do and Mixed Martial Arts (recognized by the United Karate Association). The rest of my life is in the visual/written arts. I have been a member of the deviantART community for a few years now and have over 525 deviations. I create fractal images, photographs, poetry, short story/flash fiction, and lyrics.
