About me

My name is Timothy Cole 🦄 or as my parents refer to me, tech support but you can call me Tim!

I'm a 22 year old, self-taught, software engineer living on the coastal side of North Carolina.

When I was 10 years old I fell in love with computers. I thought they were so neat that I wanted to become the CEO of Intel one day. When I was 13 I realized how intriguing websites are so I started to tinker with inspect element. It wasn't until then when I realized what I wanted to do with my life. A few months passed and I was still learning and investing my time away.

EUREKA! - Finally, by the age of 14, I created my very first website! All front-end and far from perfect, but it was mine that's all that mattered. As time passed, I completed many projects, gradually becoming more educated and working harder as ever.

After hating school for my entire life, I decided to drop out of high school at age 17 to pursue my career as a programmer.

I'm now fluent with many technologies. Primarily I write server side code in Go, while storing data in either Spanner or MongoDB with Redis as a cache. Typically on the client side of things I use React with the normal bells and whistles like Redux and Next using either node-fetch or Apollo to get data from our REST or GraphQL APIs. Hosting it all on Vultr Cloud Servers.

Current Software Engineer at Social Blade LLC and Community Admin with TwitchDev ^{Twitch Interactive, Inc.}.
