Junior Developer

Hi! My name is Cole Mertz, and I am a Junior Developer!

When I was in Highschool, I wondered what I actaully wanted to-do. I knew that my interest were in computers, I just did not know in what field. By the time I was a Senior I liked being on the computer and learning how they worked.

After some time in college pursueing Computer Science and working for a retail/warehouse, I realized that I am not the type to learn from a book. I am the type that learns by doing it over and over, until I have learned it.
