            <p>I'm James Nicholson, a programmer at <a href="https://us.etrade.com/home" title="E*Trade website">E*Trade</a> and software developer in training. I live in the Bay Area in California, about an hour south of San Francisco.</p>
<p>What do I mean by programmer? At work I use mostly Python and sometimes Perl to standardize data, so it can be stored in sql-server and reviewed by auditors. Thus, I'm not exactly developing software, but writing scripts and functions that can be reused to automate ongoing business processes.</p>
<p>What do I mean by software developer in training? I've only been programming professionally since spring of 2013 and still have a lot to learn. My goal is for my next job to be in some type of software development role, rather than informally using my programming skills in a non-development role.</p>
<p>My language of choice is Python, and I'm trying to focus on becoming as proficient as possible with it before learning another language.</p>
<p>When I'm not learning or working, I'm usually going on adventures with my dog <a href="/images/zerlina.jpg">Zerlina</a>.</p>
