I am a fourth year BS student at The University of Texas currently taking Network Security, Object Oriented Programming, Data Management, and Information Assurance. I am interested in software engineering, data processing, and security. I am working towards my Infosec, and Oracle Associate certificates.

I just started learning PHP to create dynamic websites. I might move to Ruby on Rails later on, but right now I'm going to keep learning PHP until I become familiar with the language. One of the benefits of using PHP is that you can extract common page elements such as the menu and footer, and turn them into server-side includes. Using PHP functions and conditional logic, you can automatically change the page title and indicate the current page in the menu. Generating a random image on the front page also adds interest to the site. So right now this is basically what I have on my space.

Some cool quotes I live my developer life by are:

"First, solve the problem. Then, write the code." (John Johnson)
