About dross

I was born and raised in Clarendon, Jamaica. In 2005, I graduated from University of the West Indies, Mona with a B. Sc. (Hons) in Computer Science and Electronics. I then started my professional career as a software engineer and have not looked back since. Spanning activities across the Software Development Life Cycle, I am what would be considered a full stack developer, performing duties in front-end, middle-tier and back-end systems. Though I am proficient in multiple languages, I am primarily a .NET Developer with skills including C#, ASP.NET, MSSQL, SSIS and SSRS, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Outside of work, I use my skills to solve various problems using PHP, Python and Node.js but will find the right tool for the job when necessary. Outside of writing software, I use multiple online learning resources to boost my skills. I also blog about my coding experiences

    A little surprised that after 64 comments I've only seen 2 instances of Evernote mentioned. I recently went back to using it and have been making use of the clipper fairly often. h…

    I don't know the dose and will ask, but your experience matches my only experience and I hadn't looked into it before. Everything resolved to one entity, which was almost nothingne…

    I installed it on my personal laptop due to constant crashes with chrome that debug logging didn't help to solve. Brave suffered similarly so I stuck with Chrome. I do extension de…
