Hi I'm Bradley. I knew from an early age I wanted to work with computers. I created my first website in 5th grade 1996 by viewing the source of other websites, making changes, and see what happens. I gradually expanded to CSS/JavaScript, but it wasn't until college that I was finally able to start programming "for real".
While I learned a lot in college, I knew it wouldn't be enough. I started my journey of teaching myself anything and everything I could, and where possible, integrate them into work or hobbies. Whether that would be creating a mobile application to keep track of life in Magic: The Gathering, an auto-clicker to automate more tedious aspects of certain MMOs, or a simple program on a friend's computer that would shut down his game when he was playing for too long (he did not appreciate that).
I'm always on the lookout for new technologies that I can leverage to make my everyday life easier, programming more robust, or just something neat that might be useful down the line. And recently that has expanded to IoT in the form of Arduino/ESP8266 projects.
