Hello World
Like most programmers my first line of code involved the words: “Hello World”. It all started with simple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
I did these entry level classes back in 2006. What I found is a joy in tweaking and perfecting these silly website projects.
Exploring Game Design
It was around 2009 that I started to take Game Development seriously. I was heavily involved in programs like: 3ds Max, Unreal, ZBrush, Photoshop, etc.
I traveled the country to teach kids the skills I was learning, and started an internship at a game studio called Frozen Codebase.
Going Lead Design
I decided to come back to web work & start to take it seriously. It was around this time I began to learn about SASS, Understrap, WordPress PHP Functions, etc.
Began to study design principles and grow my design work. I radically improved my ability to design, and I started to use: Illustrator and InDesign more regularly.
Enter Video Producer
My lovely wife Emily Herminath has taught me several new skills. Being a professional with video, she taught me color correction, video, & audio editing.
Around 2017 I started to work with the programs: Premiere, Audition, After Effects, etc. Since I’ve enjoyed creating videos & podcasts.
Looking Forward
I am in the process of learning React & React Native for web applications I want to create. I’m creating two simple video games one in Python the other in JavaScript. I’ve also been working on transitioning my 3d & Photoshop skills to Gimp & Blender.
Technology ever advances in every direction, you have to keep learning as you develop.
