A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge.

Who I am

I'm a Student currently based in Modesto, California. I like writing code that actually does something useful, and I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, one project at a time.

I learn by trying things, messing them up, and staying with them till they make sense.
