Aspiring web developer and full-time smart a$$ Having grown up in the Silicon Valley - California, you`d think that coding would be old hat for me. It only took an additional 20 years for me to see the light and get into what should have been a lifelong journey. I dabbled with scripting in MiRC, but that`s as far as it got. Until now... After completing culinary school in Portland, and coming up with a few dead-end jobs in mediocre kitchens, I decided to go the route that many of the friends from my youth. Entre HTML. Then CSS, followed by JavaScript and finally Ruby and Rails development. Still basically a noob, I`m polishing my skills with stars in my eyes, looking for that great opportunity to make it big. ©
