I am Mike Neurohr, aan student[[graduate at [httpof:://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIT RIT],] majoringgraduate who majored in computer engineering (3rd year). If you don't know what that is, mix computer science and electrical engineering, then add [[Assembly]] and [[Bell Labs|transistors]], and you got it. You can see some of my code and philosophy <s>theory</s> ramblings on my [http://rekaeuqs1sites.googlepagesgoogle.com/homesite/rekaeuqs1/ web page] (some links in the "Projects" section below go to my website as well). I have learned to code based on the [http://www.cs.rit.edu/~f2y-grd/java-coding-standard.html RIT coding standard] (which hasn't gotten me in trouble with other nerds yet), but sometimes I abandon minor rules for convenience (using "continues" and ternary operators).

I am originally from Pennsylvania. In December 2007, I will starthad a [[wp:Cooperative education|co-op]] job at [http://www.spectracomcorp.com/ Spectracom] from December 2007 to March 2008 in Rochester, NY. My currentprevious job iswas as a TA for a [http://www.cs.rit.edu/~vcss231 Java class at RIT.] (which I usually editreturned thingsto when I wasn't on hereco-op), duringwhere downtimeI atstarted doing a lot of my RC editing. I also advertised RC to the kids while I worked as a TA. My thatnext job was another co-op at [http://thomsonreuters.com/ Thomson-Reuters] (whileformerly theThomson-West), professorwhere isI talkingtested aboutsoftware things(mostly using [[JUnit]]). I worked from June through November 2009 at [http://www.cims.rit.edu CIMS], a lab at RIT. I started work at Bank of America (Charlotte, NC) in August 2010.

I've primarily worked inused [[C++]] and [[Java]], with some [[Ruby]], [[C]], and [http[wp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68K |Motorola 68K]] Assembly (only Java and C professionally, and C was barely professional). I've also worked inused [[BASIC]] ([http[wp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickBASIC|QuickBasic QuickBasic4.5]] in particular)--my first programming language. In high school, I learned QBASIC[[QuickBasic]], C/C++, Java, [http[wp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIe |Apple IIe]] Assembly, [[Pascal]], and [[Visual Basic]] (all somehow without learning what an Objectobject is...?). Lately I havemostly ause thingJava for Javanow. I kind of wish I got money for every time I "Added a Java example." I have recently taken college classes in C and VHDL. At my first co-op, I used [http://www.opnet.com OPNET]. The coding part of OPNET is C with some predefined functions (which usually make the program fail). All my other working experience (two other co-ops and my current job) has been in Java.

I have been a [[Windows]]/[[Microsoft]] user for the longest time. I used DOS way(playing backCommander inKeen theand dayDuke Nukem) way back before I knew how to check versions and all. I used Windows 95, 98SE, 2000, XP, and XP7. At college I started using [[UNIX]] and [[Solaris]] for CS (along with [[Emacs]] and Eclipse) and I've recently gotten intoused [[GNU]]/[[Linux]] (Debian testing w/Gnome). MyThe synaptic package manager was what drew me to it. If you haven't seen it, you'll be converted when you do. I've found that without Linux, learningI miss having multiple desktops (which I don't feel like installing for Windows). It has been slowedhard byto aget recentthe hardwaremotivation to install Linux again. It probably won't happen for a failurewhile.
