            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings!</p><p>I just wanted to publish my first story here on Medium and say, “Hello!”</p><p>A little about myself, I’m currently a software developer, but originally went to university as a math major; it might sound slightly strange, but it’s really not. I didn’t want to advance with my mathematics degree due to losing energy and passion in the subject…also being dreadfully horrible at proofs. Computer Science caught my eye, however, and so I went on to look for jobs in that field. I’ve had an interesting work history already from dealing with NoSQL and SQL databases to UI/UX design. I personally enjoy the UI/UX work a bit more than anything else I’ve done thus far in my career, mostly because I enjoy creating things for a UI and then designing them for a powerful user experience.</p><p>I love music and used to play in a local community band on the baritone saxophone. I stopped playing after university due to work and also changing of locations. One of theses days I’ll pick it back up again.</p><p>I’m also a huge lover of TV shows of all sorts. Currently I’m pretty obsessed over anime. The creative work of animes tends to really capture me, and the overwhelming vast selection makes it possible to enjoy shows of light-hearted comedy, romance, drama, fantasy, and serious philosophical discussions without really ever running out of supply. However, beyond anime, I do love science fiction (sci-fi) shows and good dramas as well.</p><p>Well it may not be a long introduction, but you get the basics. :) Oh, and I love using emoticons. :P</p><p>I hope to be posting here occasionally on thoughts or issues that preoccupy my mind. You can expect to see some articles about work place culture, UI/UX design, philosophy, ideas, education, and whatever else I feel strongly about on a given day. The articles may be few and far between at first as I get used to it, but I hope to keep this blog updated with some interesting ideas and discussions.</p><p>~Chris</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=c3402b997f3e" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
