About Me
I learned Programming
Out Of Frustration
My journey in programming began out of frustration when I accidentally stumbled upon computer code (Javascript code in the browser) on my old Windows 95 desktop computer in March 2004 in New York. Although I found it strange and unfamiliar, I became curious and wanted to learn more.
It wasn’t until my first year as a Chemical Engineering student when I had to learn VBA for Excel and Matlab that I came face to face with programming. I struggled to understand the concepts and almost failed the class despite reading the book more than three times and seeking help from my classmates. It was a depressing experience that made me consider dropping out of school.
In the summer of that same year, I decided to face programming head-on. I spent 10 to 15 hours each day teaching myself how to code using resources like W3Schools and later on, Codecademy. By the end of the summer, coding began to click for me, and I never looked back. I have been coding daily ever since, and it has become one of my deepest passions.
Today, I use my skills and expertise to help individuals and businesses with their software development needs, delivering high-quality solutions that meet their specific requirements.
Strategy planning & Execution
Before beginning any project, I like to have a clear vision or mental map of what needs to be accomplished. This can either be an idea I conceive on my own, or something I borrow and then improve upon. Once I have a well-formed idea in my mind, I typically work through the following steps to bring it to life, either independently or with a team, depending on the project requirements.
Design
Design the software.
BuiLd or develop
Build the software
Check or test & repeat
Test the software, make improvements, and repeat DESIN and/or BUILD/DEVELOP
Frequently asked questions
Most frequent questions and answers
You speak Krahn? I never heard of Krahn?
Krahn is not just my mother tongue, it is my traditional tribal language, and a dialect that is very important to me. I have a deep connection to my cultural heritage and language, and I am proud to be able to speak Krahn fluently.
What programming languages do you use the most?
My choice of programming languages usually depends on the project at hand, but on average, I use bash, Javascript, PHP, and SQL the most, in that order. However, on a daily basis, I use bash the most since I spend a lot of time working on Unix systems (such as Mac OS and Linux) and I prefer working in the terminal rather than using graphical user interfaces.
As someone who is more of a terminal person, I find using the command line to be more powerful, faster, and more productive than relying on graphical user interfaces. I am well-versed in native bash, as well as the fish shell and the zsh, and I use these tools extensively to streamline my workflow and enhance my productivity.
How did you learn five languages?
I have had the opportunity to learn several languages throughout my life, adapting whenever or wherever life threw me. English is my native language as an American who lives in the United States, and I also speak French and Krahn as they are both my native languages. I learned Spanish while serving on a mission where it was my mission call language, and I have a passion for Brazilian culture which inspired me to learn Portuguese.
So what did you study in school traditionally?
Although I originally went to school for Applied Mathematics and Chemical Engineering, my initial experience with coding proved to be a turning point in my journey. I was struck by the incredible power of computers and their ability to empower individuals and businesses alike, and I have been passionate about coding ever since.
While I have a deep understanding of computer science and technology, I still see myself as a philosopher and an applied mathematician at heart. I enjoy using my knowledge and skills in these areas to develop innovative and effective solutions that meet the unique needs of my clients.
How do you learn computers skills?
My journey in computer skills began with frustration, but it quickly turned into a deep passion fueled by my curiosity. As I began to understand computers more, I became increasingly curious about how they work, and this curiosity grew into a meaningful and significant passion for coding and all things related to computers.
Today, my passion for computers is driven by my insatiable curiosity to learn and understand how they work. I spend 6 to 12 hours a day studying, learning, improving, and seeking answers to my questions about computers. This passion drives me to constantly push myself to learn and grow in my skills, and to deliver high-quality solutions that meet the unique needs of my clients.
Oh wait, where exactly are you from ?
I am an American from Salt Lake City, Utah in the United States. However, if you’re interested in learning more about my heritage and where I come from, I am proud to share that I am a Krahn man – or more accurately, a Kaâhâwlou man.
The word “Krahn” was a label given to my people by early settlers, but the true and correct word is “Kaâhâwlou” or “Kaâhâwlou pô gnon”. As a member of this indigenous group, I come from the southwestern Ivory Coast and southeastern Liberia in West Africa. My people have a rich cultural heritage and excel in various areas including hunting, gathering, agriculture, farming, fishing, navigation, and languages.
Growing up, I was trained in things pertaining to mother nature – the earth, farming, spiritual matters, the human soul, and its purpose. While I started using computers later in life, my upbringing instilled in me a deep appreciation for the natural world and its wonders, which has influenced my approach to software development and problem-solving.
