<p>Generally speaking, I feel uncomfortable talking to anyone about myself.
|
|
It may seem a bit hollow to say in the about-me section of a website bearing my own name, but its true.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>My name is... Joey Kimsey and I am a 33 year old web-developer. I think it would be fair to say I am a full-stack developer though I find myself in and enjoy backend development more.
|
|
Over the past decade I have moved from professionally designing popup advertising for major car manufacturers, to working for the CDC in a major time of crisis,
|
|
to harassing AI to spread information to entrepreneurs in other languages. I love this technology and I love what we can do with it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Things always get a bit awkward when i tell people I am 33 but I've been doing this for 20 years, but its true. When i was still in single-digits, we got our first PC, with windows 98.
|
|
I won't lie to you about remembering the specs, but I can tell you that it changed the world for me. I believe we had internet access through our phone provider before, but eventually we wound up on AOL and the world expanded in front of me.
|
|
There were websites for everything! and it was all new, they were still talking about the internet like it was something that was going to happen, but i was already living through it, it was already changing the world around me.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As many children do, i became curious, I wanted to know how the internet worked. I found out i could have my onw little spot on the internet. I found angelfire.
|
|
I learned about html, images, pearl scripts, and I even made webpages for everything i liked: runescape, skateboarding, vampires. Eventually I really wanted to make something so my friends could send me messages on the website.
|
|
At the time, pearl was pretty complicated, not many people used it, and it was heavily limited on free hosting. I needed to find a different way, so i started searching and eventually stumbled into php.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once I found php, i fell in love with programming. Not only was the web new and fresh, i knew how it worked. I had a magical superpower that no one else did.
|
|
Over the years i built dozens of projects including working for many local business-owners from a young age.
|
|
I eventually went to college for computer science, where I learned that java is a terrible language and that i was more interested in building than learning how to build, so I dropped out.
|
|
After working several jobs over the following years, I was given the opportunity by a close friend to move out of my small town.
|
|
When i moved to Atlanta, I finally found an employer willing to give me a shot and my resume picks up from there.</p>
