I'm Quinn Gibson (he/him), of Stranothus Studios. I'm a young web developer in the freelance business.
I'm a nearly straight-A homeschool student with a 3.88 unweighted GPA and 4.48 weighted. I have been taking dual enrollment courses at my local community college since my Sophomore year. I currently take nearly all of my classes at the college and am scheduled to recieve my Associates level degree a semester before I graduate high school.
I've trained in martial arts for nearly half of my life, taking a break during Covid-19. I successfully tested for my first degree black belt and am looking forward to testing for my second after pre-Covid complications and Covid restrictions. I was priveleged to instruct at my dojo for nearly two years before Covid.
I'm utterly passionate about programming. I code all the time and am always learning more. When I can't get to a computer, I'm still thinking about projects and solutions, even in my dreams.
