I originally went to school to become a nurse. After a semester of pre-nursing school I decided it wasn't for me. I switched my major to Software Engineering. I graduated and started my career as an innovation developer for Colorado's largest Health Information Exchange. That was almost two years ago. I have accepted a new role at a different company. I will not be working in healthcare anymore. I think it will be really interesting to see what else is out there. I do side projects on the side because my full time job is mainly in .NET. I have a huge passion for mobile development and want to pursue my skills in that direction. That is my story so far. It is still being written :)

It sounds like you're not completely wild about .NET - what are your side projects? Do they help keep you going, or are they professional growth, or nascent businesses, or ?
Actually, I really enjoy .NET! My side projects are a couple mobile apps and a website for a friend's business. These projects do help me keep going. Currently, I am working two jobs and and starting a business on the side. It is hard to keep up sometimes but it gets me up in the mornings. I would also say the side projects are professional growth. I am early in my career so I take every opportunity to learn.
