About Me
Hello! I'm William Rice, welcome to my little space on the web. I'm proudly from Eastern Kentucky and I grew up like most kids here as indigent and in unfavorable conditions with my parents being addicted to drugs. I overcame the odds and proudly served my community as a police officer for over 12 years and now I'm working full time as a Software Developer. I've had a lifelong passion for technology and writing code. I know several programming languages and frameworks. My experience includes anything from writing Wordpress Plugins in PHP, building video game mods in C++ to full stack web development with React and other frameworks. When I'm not coding, you can find me hiking in the Red River Gorge, working out at the gym, or reading a tech book cramming my brain with more knowledge. I'm always excited to take on new challenges and collaborate on innovative projects. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect or discuss potential opportunities!

I am always looking for new opportunities

This website is a project! I started the journey of building this website when I wanted to learn Next.js and further enhance my React skills. I've rebuilt the site twice, always striving to follow best practices and chase the latest and greatest releases. I started on Vercel to learn the platform, but now I proudly self-host with Coolify on my own VPS.
