Let me introduce myself…

Currently a student at the University of Toledo in my fourth year and studying Computer Science Engineering Technology, I am a computer programmer/IT professional that has experience in awide

range of tasks. I enjoy programming, as well as the deployment of enterprise systems and administration. My goals involve being on the front line of the next generation of the web as well as the never ending pursuit of cutting-edge knowledge about technology and its future. I am ambition and curious, with a constant hunger for information.

You can follow me on any number of social networking sites, listed to the left, or right here in my blog. I will do my best to post articles that represent who I am and what I am interested in, while still making sure they are informative and relevant. Also, I use twitter for “micro-blogging”, and update it regularly.
