πŸ‘Ύ About Me

I'm Tripp, a passionate self-taught programmer with a love for creating automated solutions to complex problems. While my journey in professional programming is just beginning, I've been automating the mundane, simplifying the unnecessarily complex, and solving real-world problems with code for a couple of decades.

True Story

In 1999, I was a Pre-Sales Engineer for a company specializing in broadcasting facsimiles. Better known as fax broadcasting. In early 2001, our company decided to inflict its new email broadcasting service upon the world; it was in its infancy. It took our pre-sales teams hours to manually set up tests for these jobs, let alone deployment. We had to comb through text and HTML files to replace untrackable URLs with trackable URLs. Our pre-sales teams had virtually no familiarity with HTML. The teams were swamped with work before this new service came out. It was crushing us.

I had little to no programming experience at the time. In point of fact, the last time I wrote anything in code was in the 5th grade on a Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer with 4,096 bytes of RAM with a cassette recorder for saving and recalling programs. Extremely motivated, I spent a weekend learning enough Perl and regular expressions to write a small hosted app to upload our text and HTML docs, replace the embedded URLs with trackable URLs, and download the new files. It worked! It wasn't pretty, but it reduced hours of testing into minutes. The following Monday morning, I shared it with all the pre-sales teams in our company. My inbox overflowed with emails of gratitude for giving the teams their days back. I was hooked.

I later left the company to code an email campaign management platform called Ecursor.net. My first and only customer was the Texas Department of Agriculture. They paid me 5,000 USD for the first job. - Then, my second marriage. The End.

The moral is that I have always loved creating solutions and automating the mundane. I still do.
