Many tools and programming languages are essential when developing a service or app. Here are the ones I've used the most and stand by them as excellent means to program.
Hello and welcome to my web profile! My name is Joshua Gardner. I am a computer
programmer skilled in open source development technologies. With 10 years of
amateur, educational, and professional software development, your product, service,
or website will be the be the best available.
Many tools and programming languages are essential when developing a service or
app. Here are the ones I've used the most and stand by them as excellent means
to program. My computer programming education began as a self-directed
effort as a home-schooled 16-year-old. I dove into Linux
usage, dabbled in C, and thrived in Python. I had learned
a little bit of HTML before, and my skills spread into web
development. At 17 years, I built my first web app: a
sheet music library catalog for the local youth symphony
as an Eagle Scout project. I later rewrote this
application using Django. I still use Django today. I was admitted to Weber State University
in 2008 and majored in Computer Science. I studied their
two years before a Mormon mission, and another semester
after. I then transfered to Utah Valley
University in 2013 and have studied computer
science part time since that date when possible. My studies at WSU and UVU have included software
engineering and design, computer architecture, data
structures and algorithms, and discrete mathematics. Most
of this is theory, and has been of service in many
situations in my work. Learning on my own and on the job is a constant and
continuous endeavor. A few things I've learned over the
years include: Advanced Python, Linux administration, Go
programming language, PostgreSQL, some NoSQL technologies,
virtual machines, Amazon Web Services, Docker, TDD, some
variety of Agile development. It's been fun! I began full time software development in January of 2013
at Izeni, inc of Provo,
Utah. Izeni is a custom software maker, specializing in
web and mobile apps.
In the course of working at Izeni, I've contributed to
several projects, in addition to working in information
technology, devops, and general project standards for the
company. Freelance work has been a part of my experience since 2009.
I've worked on web-driven fitness and automotive
applications among others.
