Paul A.

First and foremost, I love writing code. Ever since writing my first program in JavaScript and manipulating it to produce a desired output, I have been obsessed with the idea of using software to solve practical problems. Software engineering is a never-ending puzzle that I am passionately engaged in solving. I believe in the power of programming to transform and improve the lives of people around the world. For my first professional contract, I was given the opportunity to lead a full UI/UX overhaul of a small start up's website. My second contract involved injecting HTML/CSS/JavaScript on popular merchant websites for some specific functions. This contract quickly turned into a full time offer and I have been happily expanding my role as a software engineer ever since. Today, I am a certified full stack web developer! Even when I don't have merchants or clients I am working for, I tend to continue writing code at the house. Most recently I have been working on open source projects. I play and build beautiful 2d games and I find a beautiful crossover between my software and my games. Both pursuits challenge so many aspects of the intellect: creativity, organization, sequential processing, problem solving. This is what keeps me up at night, a never ending thirst to create beautiful, powerful things and share them with the world.
