Skills
The Coding comunity is oversaturated with the amount of languages, frameworks, and tech-stacks. Far too much for one person to know it all. I'm convinced then that it is a far greater endeavor to be an excellent student in this world, than to have thought to have mastered anything. That is exactly what I have resolved to be! That said, here is a list of skills that I have aquired and my subsequent confidnece level thus far in my journey. NOTE: Any skills that are at or below 50% are skills that I have knowledge in but am actively focused on improving.
Resume
This resume is in no way exhaustive of my experience, nor could it ever be. This is just a very small piece of relevant history that will hopefully give you a preview of my professional life. I would be thrilled however to be able to share more with you in person.
Summary
Robert Westbrook
Hardworking father of 5 and Web Department Manager/Email specialist of a nonprofit organization called Christ For All Nations where I have the privilege of working alongside amazing developers to oversee all of the full stack website needs of the organization, as well as provide support for over half a dozen other offices in countries around the world.

Education
Computer Programming Nannodegree Graduate
2020
Udacity, Online
In this structured online classroom environment, I studied the both the foundations and more advanced concepts of Python and JavaScript coding langauages and applied them to various project applications which were graded and criticized by Udacity instructors and employees. During this course I also became adept in OOP(Object Oriented Programming) and other common coding practices aggreed upon by a majority of the developer community.
Bachelor of Arts
2008 - 2012
Baylor University, Waco, TX
I studied Religion and concentrated primarily in Chrisian Ethics. But more than my major, Baylor University taught me how to learn. Perhaps one of the skills that I have benefitted the most from my university education was my ability to conduct effective research. This skill has tremendously assisted me in my pursuits in a technology. Being primarily self-taught, it has required an unquantifiable amount hours spent in research and critical thinking that I would not have been prepared for if I was not given this privileged education.

Robert Westbrook is one of the most driven learners I know. Robert went from having no experience in mobile app development to developing a full scale beta in a month or two. Robert consistently demonstrates the ability to fix complicated problems with technology and he easily adapts to the needs of the environment.

Robert asked me to help him with a career change. He was drawn to IT and needed someone that could answer his questions… He's an unbelievably hard worker and picks up technical concepts quickly and efficiently. He's helping me become a better teacher. I guess we're mentoring each other. You would be hard pressed to find someone with better character than Robert and working with him has made me a better man.
