Hello, you have reached the Rosetta Code user page for Larry Hignight. |

| ⚫ | |||
I was first exposed to software development in the sixth grade. Mr. Toby, who was the vice principal at Cortez Elementary, would walk my sixth grade class to the nearby junior high school twice a week. Once I was at junior high school, I continued taking programming classes and eventually convinced my parents that I ''needed'' a personal computer. I had caught a pretty serious case of the computing bug and continued taking computer classes in high school and college. |

| ⚫ | I began working as a software developer in 2004 and have completed a number of projects in industry and academia: California State University Fullerton (~1 year), Boeing (~5 years), USC ([http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~dkempe/former-students.html research] - 1.5 years while working at Boeing) and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (5 months). While at Boeing, I worked on teams responsible for a number of satellite programs, including DirecTV, XM Radio, Wide-Band Gap Filler (WGS), Global Positioning System (GPS), New Skies (NSS), and SSP (Boeing's internal name for the Future Imagery Architecture satellite system). |

[[File:Project_Euler_Larry_Hignight.png|left|alt="Project Euler profile image"]] In addition to Rosetta Code tasks, I have also submitted solutions to fifty-six [http://projecteuler.net/problems Project Euler problems]. Unfortunately, Project Euler doesn't support a public profile page, just a [http://projecteuler.net/profile/Larry_Hignight.png profile image], which I've included here. I also have [http://www.linkedin.com/pub/larry-hignight/28/46b/893 LinkedIn] and [http://www.facebook.com/larry.hignight Facebook] accounts. <br /><br /> |
