Chris Howie’s Summary

Software developer with self-taught background in many programming languages (C#, C, Java, PHP, and more). Most languages and technologies were learned well before attending college.

Grounding in computer science theory is solid and transcends any particular language, which results in the ability to learn new technologies quickly. While considering a high-level design, the low-level details are being formed, which results in the rapid implementation of ideas.
