Software Engineering Study
Duration: Ongoing...
Ever since I was younger I have had an affinity for software and engineering, and through my adult life, I have always gravitated towards my home PC where I quickly learned entry-level web and native software development skills. I started designing simple landing pages and websites for friends with other ambitions. You can find a few examples of those here. Then, after getting acquainted with front-end technologies, I began expanding my skill set, growing in confidence, and I began considering my tinkering as a form of study. Each time I worked to build new tools and sites, I got faster, learned how to use more advanced technologies, and found more modern tools, giving me an upper hand, and expanding my knowledge of the web developer ecosystem.
I do not have a code camp or trade school paper to prove my skills, but I have learned a lot on my own and I am still learning every day. I would like to get more experience working with a professional team, as the team engineering workflow is a huge ecosystem outside of building apps and projects on your own. I am confident in admitting here that this will be something I struggle with at first, but I am excited to learn and grow in this direction.

Camera and Digital Photography Course
GoPro, Moduslink
Duration: Winter 2017
Through the end half of 2016 I worked as an SME for GoPro, the action camera company. We spend over a month and a half outside of the typical technical/product support training to learn how to use and troubleshoot the GoPro cameras, including working with slow-motion effects, differences in quality between the different lenses, frame rates, and with varying exposure, as well as troubleshooting issues with storage devices, media types, and their in-house editing software. The cameras were pretty advanced for being more consumer-driven, and that training helped me in using my own DSLR at home! Our team took part in many multimedia projects during that time, including using the GoPro Karma drone, however I do not have any of that footage available.
