Alrighty, it's life story time, here we go.

I started programming at an early age. I was in middle school when I discovered basic code in the back of a PC Kids magazine. From there I started writing my own programs and games in qbasic. I loved computers and then taught myself c and c++. Then in high school I took an AP course in computer science. I went off to college to get a bachelor of arts degree in computer science with a minor in art. Since then I've worked as a developer for 10 years in the health and insurance industries.

I got into programming computers as a way to make video games, and that is still my dream.

In 2014 I started HartCode LLC as a base of operations for several side projects I am working on. https://hartcode.com

I have always been a maker, and love to create things, programs, and food for people. To that end I created another business in 2016 called Soapitica LLC where I make and sell handmade artisan soap. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Soapitica
