My name is Rose. I’m a programmer and website developer living in Victoria, BC.
How it all began
I started web design as a kid. I got my first computer when I was twelve and somehow got sucked into HTML shortly after.
It made sense to turn my hobby into a career, so when I was 22 I stopped messing around, went to school, and got my diploma in Computer Systems Technology.

A bit about me!
I am… a bit of a nerd, which I guess makes sense since I spend a lot of time on the computer writing code and I’m pretty sure that’s all you really need to be considered a nerd.
Oh, and nerds have to be socially awkward (thanks, Wikipedia), which I am, so I have that part covered too.
I live in a small, ocean-front apartment with my boyfriend named Ben, who is absolutely not a nerd and is actually kind of a rockstar. Together, we drink a lot of wine and watch a lot of TV.
In my free time I live a pretty tame lifestyle: I occasionally bake cookies, I spend time with my friends and my mom, and I read articles about weird things.
