I am a software developer from Burlington, Ontario. I obtained my Computer Programmer diploma from Sheridan
College with High Honors and a GPA of 3.92 out of 4. My skillset includes
C#,
Python,
ASP.NET MVC,
Umbraco,
jQuery,
Kendo UI,
Bootstrap,
Oracle, and
SQL Server. In my spare time, I enjoy building robots using Raspberry Pi and Linux.
I love music! I can listen to almost anything, but prefer progressive metal, experimental, classical, ambient, and instrumental folk music.
I have some rather uncommon pets. In total, I have had around
55 tarantulas, scorpions, giant centipedes, and various reptiles. Currently I have around a dozen or so tarantulas and scorpions. They are fascinating creatures that have been evolving for millions
of years. I feed them crickets, and do not handle any of them, as the species that I keep are some of the most venomous in the world.
I live to travel the world and explore new places. I have been to
27 countries and all
7 continents. I am not a tourist, but an explorer. I love to visit cities and study their unique architecture, but my passion is to explore the outdoors and visit areas
where few people have stepped foot. Visit my
Travel page to see photographs and videos I have taken during my expeditions.
