I'm Marvin.
Software Engineer.
My love for programming started in junior high school with an IBM PC XT and a spiral bound handbook for BASIC. I wrote ASCII character games and text-based adventure games. And maybe a program that prank called a neighbor on a loop. 😬
In 2003, I got reacquainted with code, starting with Classic ASP. But the debugging experience wasn't great, so I ventured into ASP.NET and C#.
Since then, I've done Angular, Vue, React on the front end. C# WebApi and Sql Server on the back end. I've spent quality time with Azure, a little Kubernetes. Lots of time building devops pipelines in Azure Devops.
And my latest adventure has been with Python and Django on Google Cloud.
I love AI. We can either be scared of it or embrace it. Fear has never served me well. I choose courage. The industry is always changing. I am always learning. That's what makes it an adventure.
The one thing that will, I believe, never change is that software is a great outlet to express creativity. I've always been a creative person, so software has been a great fit for me.
