ABOUT ME
Programmer for over 15 years, C/C++/Python/Linux
Programmer for over 15 years, C/C++/Python/Linux
I've been programming for over 15 years. C is my favorite language and the one I'm most experienced in by far, followed by C++, though Python is my second favorite. I'm comfortable with assembly, primarily MIPS, x86_64 and RISC-V. I have a little experience with Scheme/Racket. I'm also fairly well versed in modern OpenGL (3.3+, I have no experience with deprecated fixed function OpenGL). I am an experienced Linux user and developer. All my personal projects are developed and run on Linux.
I've also been tutoring on Wyzant, both in person and online, since mid 2016:

C was my first language and is the language I think in when solving and discussing programming. I love its clean minimalism and simplicity, "everything you need, nothing you don't" philosophy. I have written the most code in C, and contributed to several open source C projects and started some of my own including a C interpreter, which more than anything else I think shows my understanding of the language (https://www.openhub.net/accounts/robert_winkler). I have several other C projects that aren't finished/public yet but will be soon.

I've written many projects in C++ both on my own, for college coursework and at several of my jobs. Currently what I use it for is graphics programming, specifically OpenGL There are many things I don't like about C++, but for graphics programming, operator overloading is a wonderful thing and object/method syntax doesn't hurt either.

I specifically learned Python in 2011 and that was my first exposure to Python. My experience is mostly small/medium programming problems (ie contest style, Project Euler), a client-server tool for work, several web scrapping programs, a code formatting project on Github and one prototype game using tkinter.

Besides covering MIPS in college, I've helped a lot of students with it over the last couple years. In addition I've written a decent amount of x86_64 assembly on my own and helped a handful of students with that as well. I've only done a little RISC-V but it's heavily influenced by and similar to MIPS, so I feel comfortable with it as well.

I've used git for all of my personal projects and at my last 4 jobs. I'm not a super guru because I haven't had a lot of reason to use the more esoteric features but I know my way around and can figure out what I want pretty quickly even when It's not familiar.
