Hello! If you’re here from my resume, thanks for stopping by. I’m Adrian Bates, a computer science enthusiast with over a decade of hands-on experience. At 14, I built my first computer, sparking a journey that has evolved into a robust skill set.

EducationPermalink

I spent four years at Southern New Hampshire University. My dedication and accountability has earned me my Bachelor’s degree in computer science with a perfect 4.0 GPA, never missing an assignment.

BeginningsPermalink

My interest in computer science began through video games and learning C++/Java. Over the last decade, I’ve been particularly interested in the programming and systems side of video game development. I released a now defunct Android application that aimed to aid piano players in their sight-reading, but for other projects my focus on programming overshadowed the need to create a finished media product. In short, programming is more fun than designing UIs and rigging animations…

Beyond ProgrammingPermalink

I also have many skills and hobbies that extend beyond programming, and consider myself very adaptable. From static web development such as this website and the website for my small business to music, carpentry, photography, electronics, and importantly: 3D design and printing.

Crafting in 3DPermalink

As my interest in 3D printing began to grow, as did the need to become a proficient 3D designer. Through years of self-teaching and experimentation in programs such as Blender and OpenSCAD, I’ve translated my passion into a tangible business aspect. A fundamental part of my partner and I’s business involves selling 3D printed keycaps.

New ChallengesPermalink

With a foundation in adaptability and a passion for problem-solving, I believe I can seamlessly integrate into YOUR project with a little guidance.
