About Me
I'm a software developer.

Things I know how use in no particular order:


 * C/C++/Java
 * Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP
 * HTML/CSS/JavaScript
 * MongoDB/ExpressJS/NodeJS

Things I need to learn in no particular order:

My hobbies include reading books on programming, particularly those published by O'Reilly Media, playing the piano, and recreational gymnastics.
 * BackboneJS/AngularJS/ReactJS/EmberJS/VueJS
 * Statistics/Machine Learning/Deep Learning
 * Natural Language Processing/Natural Language Understanding

When it come to the piano, I find the question that interests me most is, "why is music?" The piano is a broad field with many areas include theory, performance, and history. I'm sure that as I advance as a musician I will find subjects I want to learn about but can't find sufficient information on Wikipedia, which will provide me the opportunity to research and better enhance the site's knowledge base.

As for gymnastics, I find the articles to be lacking or incomplete. It seems like whenever I try to look up basic information I get a one-line definition of something, but no clarification on requirements, or historical context. I want to know things like:
 * where did this move come from
 * who was the first to do it
 * how popular is it
 * who made it popular
 * how difficult is it

I also feel the sport has a gender bias. As an example USA Gymnastics has a section on Women's Artistic Programs but not one for Men's. I find this lack of information unsurprising because, in America at least, gymnastics doesn't really exist. In the United States, the olympics focuses on swimming, and when they do cover gymnastics it is focused on the female teams. Additionally, I find there to be a lack of proper gyms in the United states, due to insurance concerns and lack of qualified trainers.

I also use this page for testing Wikipedia's markup language. For example:
