I like programming a lot. I started programming at the end of eighth grade, in TI-Basic on a TI89 graphing calculator . This soon blossomed into a full-fledged hobby, and I began to move on to other programming languages.

I got a HandSpring Visor Pro PDA running PalmOS at the beginning of High School. Soon I was programming in SmallBasic, a Basic environment for PalmOS. From there, I eventually picked up QBasic, Fortran, Forth, Pascal, Plua, and a bit of C++ on PalmOS and/or Windows.

When I finished High School, I went to UW-Madison to study computer science. In my first semester, I took CompSci 302 [Intro to Programming], where I learned Java. Using this knowledge, I discovered that one can make Java Applets for web pages. This led me to discover HTML, JavaScript, PHP and SQL. Web development is kind of my hobby now.

Last semester I took CS540 (Artificial Intelligence). I really enjoyed the class, now I'd like to learn more about AI.

In the future I would like to:

• Learn some Perl scripting.
• Learn more about networks, protocols, ports and security.
