Introduction
Hello.
Welcome to my profile! My name is David, a software developer dedicated to guiding you through the perils of the web and tech. Technology can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. Let me help you.
I have completed a Master of Applied Science in Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania, and have expertise in full-stack web development and software engineering.
I come from a unique background with a Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Alberta. As I pursued my studies, I explored my passion for tech by self-teaching myself web development, diving into Linux/Unix, and using cool tools like Vim.
I am passionate, and love continuous learning. Don't be afraid to reach out!
