I feel like more of a professional generalist than a programmer. I only have an associate degree, but had some programming / Access classes in college. Was a hobbyist Access / Excel / MySql developer while i was working the helpdesk (15 years ago). Then slowly got more access and opportunities at work, never said no and now I’m an ETL developer who also does some programming on legacy, web and dotnet.
