About Me
Hi! I'm Travis Bontrager. I'm a Software Engineer from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I fell in love with computer
programming when I was just 11 years old. I took programming classes through all of high school. I then
started a flooring installation business. After 16 years of crawling around on my knees everyday, I decided
to go back to school. In 2013 I enrolled at Regis University through their online program, attending classes
while working. In 2017, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with my Bachelor's in Computer Science. In my current
position, I work on super cool projects. My work consists mainly of embedded programming, analysis of large
data sets, and a little web development. My preferred languages to work in are currently Python, C, C++, and
JavaScript. I am also familiar with Pascal, BASIC, HTML, and CSS. I dabble in Rust a bit and hope to do more
projects with it in the future, but recently fell in love with Python and spend most of my free programming
time with it. I like to code, I like to learn new things, and this website is basically just a sandbox for
me to experiment with doing new things on the web. It started because I wanted to Learn Django and figure
out how to deploy a website on my own. It has become my playground where I build things just to see how
they work. Eventually I hope to use the knowledge I gain here to invent and deploy a super cool wicked
groovy awesome app everyone will totally fall in love with. My goal is for all of humanity to get totally
addicted to it. That way I can become super ultra ridiculously filthy rich and live out the rest of my days
fulfilling my life's true passion which is spending time outdoors camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, ATVing,
tobogganing, jet skiing, boating, and traveling to new and exciting places where my wife and I can do all
those things together as often as possible. Maybe one day, we can even own a business related to those
activities. That's the dream!

My Favorite Quote: “If you're edged 'cause I'm weazin' all your grindage, just chill. 'Cause if I had the whole
Brady Bunch thing happenin' at my pad, I'd go grind over there, so don't tax my gig so hard-core cruster.”
