About Me
Hello! I'm Sidney
I'm a software developer from Kent, Ohio.
I have experience building web and console applications and am always looking to learn and improve my skills.
I recently graduated with a B.A. in Computer Science at Kent State, and currently work for Seifert Technologies as a full stack developer and consultant. Here, I have worked on a variety of projects, including a vehicle fleet tracking application, an industrial pipe-cleaning demo app, a PHP storefront, and various internal applications.
My language of choice is C#, but I like to keep my other languages sharp through code exercises on Codewars.
Other interests of mine include origami, online Scrabble (I recommend woogles.io!), metal guitar, Minecraft, and Trackmania 2020.
