Marshall Culpepper’s Education

The University of Texas at Dallas
Completely Self-Taught
I am a completely self-taught, institutionally-free educated man. I've been coding since the age of 12. I started my career at the age of 16 while still in High School, and I'm still learning to this day.
I didn't actually attend UTD, I was forced to select it by LinkedIn so I could put something accurate to portray my education.
