About Me
Hello, I'm William (You can call me Billy!)
I'm a Software Developer in Eastern Kentucky with an unconventional path to tech. After growing up in challenging circumstances and serving 12+ years in law enforcement, I transitioned a lifelong programming hobby into a full-time career by consistently challenging myself and building skills across a variety of technologies.
I recently earned my Master of Science in Software Engineering, complementing years of self taught learning. I specialize in PHP (WordPress ecosystem), modern JavaScript frameworks, C#/.NET, and C++, with a focus on clean architecture, accessibility, and performance-driven solutions.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me hiking the Red River Gorge, spending quality time with my family, or serving my community as an elected City Councilman.
