Welcome to my GitHub profile. 
I have been a Software Engineer at Accolade since August 2021. That's when I finally got up the courage to fulfill my dream of being a full-time programmer (at least, that's what we were called when I first started doing it as an amateur and as a responsibility for various jobs).
Years ago I read (part of) The Mind Illuminated by John Yates, Matthew Immergut, and Jeremy Graves. The following quote has stuck with me ever since.
The secret to progress is working with the specific obstacles and goals appropriate to your current skill level.
What this means to me, in the context of my person repositories, is that I'm going to implement simpler things the the programming languages I am not familiar with and leave the harder stuff for the ones I am familiar with.
My goal with these public repositories is to have fun. Progressing is fun; feeling like you can do a thing is also fun. Time to have fun.
While most of my public work will be in the Playground Repositories, there will be some work that I feel might be more useful in its own repository. These will mainly be informational; thus my grouping them under FYI Repositories.
I've enjoyed programming since I was seven years old and I enjoy playing around with different languages. To facilitate this, I've created various "playground" repositories where I plan to post various programs I've written. I have also found I enjoy it more and learn more when I hack away at a project rather than plowing through a book (though I often at least try to plow through programming books).
