+<p>I'm J.R. Hill and I code mostly for fun. (<a href='https://justforfunnoreally.dev'>No, really!</a>)</p>
+
+<h2>Education</h2>
+
+<p>
+  I'm primarily self-educated. I dropped out of high school, and dropped out of
+  college twice. The reasons for my difficulty with education systems is
+  complex, but suffice it to say there were failures on my part as well as
+  flaws in the educational system. I love learning and having the freedom to
+  be curious and think critically, which is part of the reason that courses in
+  school were, and continue to be, so incredibly frustrating for me.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  I don't know exactly when I first began coding. My first exposure with an
+  actual computer was almost certainly on some visit to my grandfather (Lyle E.
+  Yates) and interacting with a Commodore 64 in his basement. I would have been
+  in elementary school and this would have been in the early/mid 1990s. He
+  worked on Dams in Eastern Washington, and was an early adopter of home
+  computing. When he upgraded his home computer enough times, he gifted the
+  Commodore 64 (and peripherals, and a 128!) to my family, and that's when I
+  really became a BASIC programmer.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  My language journey is something like BASIC to C++ to JavaScript for my early
+  experiences. In my 20s I added a number of web and games languages. In my 30s
+  is when I started programming professionally, and this added a lot of
+  languages to my repertoire out of necessity, and I added many many more out
+  of curiosity.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+   As for public software, most of my activity started in 2023, so I'm just
+   getting started.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Career</h2>
+
+<p>
+  I'm currently serving as a Staff Software Engineer at <a href='https://thinkonward.com'>Onward</a>,
+  an energy, geoscience, and climate innovation company.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  My longest-running gig in the software industry was 9 years at Amazon
+  between 2014 and 2023. I was a core maintainer of the company's
+  internal software ecosystem. I owned, personally as a single engineer,
+  tens of thousands of software projects (libraries, daemons, templates,
+  executables, etc) used directly and transitively by AWS, Amazon.com,
+  MGM, Twitch, Kindle, Audible, IMDB, Comixology, Whole Foods, Zappos,
+  and more. Applications ranged from the web, fintech, adtech, embedded
+  and IoT, consumer devices, avionics, robotics, satellites and more. I'm
+  not a rocket scientist, but my code has been to space.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Prior to Amazon, software was most often a hobby, although I did have a
+  period of early web work for realtors and a home inspector.

+  I run the concatenative programming discord server. An invite link to the

+  programming languages. (Go, Rust, C, Zig, etc.) This server is more exclusive
+  but you can ask me for an invite. Send a message to <code>booniepepper</code>
