Software development

Since retiring from law enforcement, I have been teaching myself coding.  I have focused on Python, javascript and VB.NET.  I also learned HTML/CSS.  I do not develop software professionally, but I have developed several software packages that I personally use at my place of employment to help work more efficiently and effectively.  I continue developing new ideas for problem solving purposes.
