Don Emery
I am a Senior engineer specialist that works for a world-class bottling company. I love to create and learn new things. Sometimes with my job, I must think outside of the box and create ideas for issues that need to be solved. On top of this, I have taught myself to learn C# and created a few programs and also how to use SQL. Now I wanted to create a website for my profile, and you guessed it I am learning a little about Html and bootstrap.
