<div class="indentable">

	<p>I am a self-taught programmer who has been learning for
	{{ YEARS_PROGRAMMING }} years and counting. I've worked with almost every
	type of programming language, ranging from high level web development to
	breaking apart assembly in systems like graphing calculators. I'm passionate
	about building things that last and honing my skills through learning on
	every single project I touch.</p>

	<p>My programming journey started with Khan Academy with their ProcessingJS
	course, which taught programming basics with a canvas for showing immediate
	graphical results. Included was documentation right below the editor, which
	encouraged discovery and examples on how to use each function. From there I
	moved on to Codecademy to learn Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (for the
	DOM/web this time). From there I branched out to projects and have been
	grinding that practice for years.</p>

	<p>Here is a rough outline of the languages/skills I have learned:</p>

	<ul>
		<li>JavaScript</li>
		<li>Python</li>
		<li>HTML/CSS</li>
		<li>Linux (desktop maintenance)</li>
