Amateur writer of awkward Python
I am an amateur programmer and full-time paralegal who got into coding when the world shut down in 2021, prior to which I had precisely zero programming knowledge or experience. Since then I've spent much of my free time learning Python (and just enough of a few other languages to be perfectly incompetent) mostly in an attempt to ward off crippling boredom. While I code mostly for fun, I've been able to use my gradually improving skills to write tools that improve my productivity at work and am currently working on what I hope will be my first commercial project.
A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I am a rabid fan of all things Tar Heel. I like dogs more than I like most people (my incredible family and a few friends excepted) and I believe that a bad day in the mountains or on the beach is better than a good day just about anywhere else.
Nothing here yet.
