I have been a professional programmer in one sense or another since I graduated from JNTU University in 2014. My graduate degree was a BE in Computer Science Engineering, and I fully intended to design Software and develop application , but the work that I gravitated to involved programming PHP and JAVA. To further my education, I attended night school at the University of Texas at Arlington, where I learned the valuable lesson that the best teachers aren't necessarily found at the most prestigious Universities.I earned my BTECH in Computer Science and Engineering while working full time... and quite frankly I think most folks should do likewise. Without the "real world" providing perspective it's way too easy to get caught up in theories about how to write good software that aren't really very practical.
Most of my work has in one way or another related to making things easier for people who use computers - both for the end users and for programmers. Over the course of my career software development has moved from deep within the realm of experts to approaching the realm of just about everyone... My passion is to encourage that trend in every way that I can.
