My name is Brad Hoover. I'm 26 years old and I have a Bachelors in Computer Engineering. I live in the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York State.

I have experience working with both hardware and software. You can check out my senior design project, which involved the design and fabrication of custom printed circuit boards (PCB), low/high level programming, and the use of RFID to track items stored on a custom built shelf. You can download my entire report, view the picture gallery (when I create it), and there's even a video to demonstrate. My partner and I spent many late nights working on it, and we're proud to have built a working prototype.

My other passion is web development. I have pursued this as an active hobby since I was about 16 years old. I became fascinated with the World Wide Web and the idea that anyone, at any time, any place in the world could be viewing my web page. I taught myself HTML and CSS by reading books, tutorials, and experimenting with code. I later took Java classes in school and used that knowledge to teach myself PHP, which also led me to work with databases and MySQL. Although I'm more of a programmer, I'm also familiar with Photoshop editing and slicing layouts to be exported for code.
