Work, work, work
Not a complaint, just a statement of fact. I happen to love my job, and when I'm not working at my job, I can usually found in front of my computer experimenting, playing, or working at getting better at my job.
And what—exactly—does this consist of?
Well, in one word: coding.
Despite having majored in molecular biology (a.k.a. genetics) at university, my forte is coding. I work at a tech start-up in Pasadena, California, with a small team of programmers.
I mostly code in PHP, Java, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, but have dabbled in other stuff (such as Python, ColdFusion, and bash scripting).
My passion is clean code, accessible and usable websites, and chocolate. I have spent countless hours cleaning up code—much of it my own. I have spent countless dollars on books about usability, refactoring, object oriented programming, design patterns, and programming practices.
