I have a B.S. in Computer Science from Indiana University. I worked in IT for 10 years, 8 of those 10 working IT for a hospital network before switching to software development. About 4 years as a PC tech, couple years doing network and system admin, and another 4 years as an HL7 Interface Analyst.
I started my journey down the software development route Dec. 1st of 2021, so I am still pretty green at it. Though, my years in IT has definitely given me a useful skill set that puts me ahead of some others at the same skill level.
