Hello, my name is
Yorick Robinson.
I'm an infrastructure engineer @ Nava PBC.
And a freelance web developer/designer.
About Me
I've always had a passion for technology.
I began my pursuit of a career in technology at Louisiana State University where I graduated with my BSEE in Computer Engineering.
This is where I rediscovered programming. From there, I landed an apprenticeship and, later, a full-time job with a major telecommunications company.
I learned a lot working on the company's largest billing system and began to develop my skillset doing infrastructure support day-to-day.
I bounced around a bit in an attempt to discover what type of work I'm really interested in doing. Ultimately, landing a job as an infrastructure engineer for a government contractor.
And THIS is where I got my feet wet in web development. I had an opportunity to contribute to the front-end development of a small CMS application and I was hooked!
