Software Developer

I'm a self taught software developer who loves building projects and learning the ropes as I go. I love creating things and if I wasn't a programmer I'd be making board games, designing clothes, learning physics and chemistry and the intricacies of the universe. Unfortunatley there's only so much you can do in one lifetime, so I decided to dedicate my time to coding. (Which I think was a great choice)

👨‍💻Tiernan's Coding Journey

 I originally started my coding journey at age 9 with GameMaker 7 and drag-and-drop programming. It was so fun creating little games and I knew even if it wasn't specifically game dev, I wanted to do something in this field.

Fast forward to highscool and I use GameMaker Studio 2 and GML (GameMaker Language) to develop some fun little projects, including my chemistry final project which my teacher was amazed by. In my senior year of highschool, I took a Computer Science Principles class where we used MIT App Inventor, VexCode, and Python (in VSCode). It was at this point I knew I was going to make this a career and upon graduation in May I began researching and learning languages. I started with Python trying to piggyback off of what I had learned in the class but I realized I didn't know the practical use application. After months of learning I suddenly had the urge to make a mobile app. Why? Because MyFitnessPal started charging their premium subscription to use the barcode scanner and view macro goals, so like any reasonable person I sought to develop my own free alternative instead of just downloading a different app. That led me down the .NET MAUI and C# path, which got me into doing frontend in MAUI and my backend api in ASP.NET Core, and my database in MS SQL Server. I have since migrated my progress from .NET MAUI to Uno Platform as it allows more flexibility for what I want to do with the app.

Upon completion of my app (HealthMode), I will go into the world of freelancing, building up my skills, portfolio, and experience and hopefully find some jobs out on the west coast as it is a dream of mine to move to Las Vegas!
