Resume
My professional career has been interesting, to say the least. In the span of a few years, I have played a role in 20+ projects from inception to production deployments. I quickly went from an intern to engineering manager. Starting at a small company, you have the opportunity to wear many hats and acquire as much responsibility as you can handle.
Technical Skills
Hot take: Skills don't matter that much. Skills are like tools, just because you know how to use a hammer, does not mean you know how to build a house. If you know how to build a house, the tool's individual importance becomes secondary to the task at hand. Every tool has a specific purpose, and the real skill is knowing when and where to use that tool, and when you need to learn another one.

Education
Let's be honest, this doesn't actually matter anymore since I am already in the industry. I just needed a degree to get my first job. Higher education is not the pinnacle of achievement, not for a software engineer.
Oregon Institute of Technology
Bachelor of Science - Software Engineering Technology
Clover Park Technical College
Unearned Associates - Web Development
While in high school, I opted into a program called "Running Start" that ideally lets you earn an Associates before graduating high school. I choose a web development path that I wasn't able to complete before graduating and moving to Oregon.
