I first got into programming with HTML in about 8th grade. After about a year, I found out I really enjoyed programming, and wanted to do more with it. I had started using Discord and thought it would be really cool to be able to make a chat bot. I started learning C# with the help of Google, StackOverflow, and Discord programming servers. After a month or 2, I had my first fully-fledged Discord bot, and a new understanding of how limitless programming can feel. For the next 4 years, I constantly challenged myself to do more, and surprised myself almost every time. I then moved to more conventional WPF and console applications, and started learning how to create client/server applications and to use APIs without a library. I created my first Twitch bot, and incorporated it into one of my Discord bot projects. I then added a TCP server to the same application for song requests, and created a WPF client application to play the requested song on the Twitch streamer's computer, complete with your standard music/video controls and a volume slider, making this one of my biggest projects to date that is still not finished. I then got a job at Intuitive IT Solutions as the in-house developer 2 years ago, and started learning PowerShell Within the past year, I have gone back to my roots and have started creating web applications with a C# back-end. At the moment, I am working on a couple large-scale client/server projects using a combination of C# and PowerShell, as well as a couple ASP.NET web applications. I have also very recently started learning C++ in hopes to do more low-level programming, such as drivers and custom operating systems.
