About Me

Self Introduction

Jaime Montoya

Programmer

I was born in San Salvador, El Salvador, on July 16^th, 1986. I am currently working as a programmer and professor at Cupón Club and Escuela Superior de Economía y Negocios (School of Economics and Business), respectively. I am an active participant in Stack Overflow, a community where I learn and contribute, sometimes even by answering my own questions in order to document and share solutions to programming problems that I face. My education and work experience have always been heavily oriented to technical fields, particularly programming. I plan to continue working as a programmer I hope for the rest of my life!

Learning is an ongoing process that never ends. It is an infinite loop and not a destination. I fundamentally rely on textbooks to learn and keep my technical knowledge up-to-date. I have read the first six chapters and now I am reading chapter seven of the book "Java: A Beginner's Guide, Seventh Edition", by Herbert Schildt and published by McGraw-Hill Education.
