Hello everyone,

My name is Eric, I've been programming since the 6th grade, got started with HyperCard/Talk (does that date me? lol). I next pushed my skills forward with using REALbasic (now Xojo) and eventually moved on to Objective-C and now Swift. I do some website management for my tribe (full front-end and back-end dev) using Bootstrap with jQuery to get things looking good, or at least functional (haha). I also program as a hobby using Swift making apps and games, I have 2 apps on Apple App Stores (1 on macOS and 1 on iOS), which I've actually made a few dollars!.

My main passion is native app dev for mac/iOS but the web dev stuff I do is fun at times (frustrating with the browser differences, I'm looking at you IE/Edge!).

My current day job is a temp position at my tribe doing filing in our realty office and web site work (as a contract). Personally I'd love to get a remote job that pays decent, so that I can continue to be with my Grandpa (he's 85) and help pay bills as well as continue to be devoted to some other obligations I have here at home.

Recently I started the freeCodeCamp front end developer certificate program so that I could increase my knowledge about web technology and to help build my portfolio. Over the years I've also learned several other programming languages, mostly all C based (once you know one C based language you pretty much know them all, you just have to get use to the different idiosyncrasies) so to list them all I could say that i know the following languages with (varying confidence levels), in no particular order:

C, C++, JavaScript, Java, Visual Basic, C#, Objective-C, Swift, Ruby, Xojo/REALbasic. I've probably forgotten a few but that's a good list I suppose.

Hope this wasn't too long of an intro or TMI.

Regards,

Eric
