Rewrote app to use MySQL instead of sqlite; this will be beneficial for having multiple users and multiple parts of the site. Also redid the home page and added some more content to the bio and projects pages. The contact page also has some content of its own now.

<h2>about me</h2>
<p>extended bio coming soon...</p>
<p>I have work experience using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, AngularJS, NodeJS, PHP, Laravel, WordPress, Magento. Shopify, Ruby on Rails, Python, Linux, Ubuntu Server 14.04, and I have the Certified System Administrator certification from the Linux Foundation. As far as software goes, I'm proficient in git, GIMP, and vim. All of my learning so far has been from self-study, so I am very independent and self-motivated; little to no direction isnt a problem for me. Im also a very quick learner and Im detail-oriented. I tend to stay up late at night working and wake up early the next day to continue working when I have a big project. I love Open Source software, and I use Arch Linux as my primary operating system. I have made a few minor contributions to open source software, as seen on my GitHub profile. </p>
<p>When I was 16 years old I decided to go on a foreign exchange trip, and I wanted to go to Europe. I wasnt too particular about where exactly though and I ended up going to Finland. Finnish is a very difficult language to learn and the people there are more reserved than most Americans. Add to that mix a nearly 6 month winter with temperatures as low as -24 F (-31 C) and you can see how this was quite a life-changing experience. I left Finland fluent in Spanish and conversational in Finnish. The Finns were rather shy, at least with me, so I spent most of my time with Latin American exchange students and actually met my current fiancée there. When I returned to the US, I finished my last year of high school and then moved to Mexico, precisely for my fiancée, who was only my girlfriend at the time. When I got to Mexico, I had a couple thousand dollars saved up, I had no visas or permissions to work, but I at least spoke Spanish. Within 2 weeks of being there I was able to find work teaching English, and I later found a better teaching position and got my visa situation taken care of. Prior to teaching I had only gained experience in sales and retail, so teaching was a completely new experience for me. It wasnt my favorite thing to do, however, so I decided that I needed to get some more education in order to get into a field that I actually would enjoy. I began to teach myself HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and Python in my free time since Ive always been a tech junkie. At 20 years old, I began my first job in web development, only 4 months after I began studying programming. In the 6 months that I've been there, I've learned PHP, Laravel, WordPress, some Magento, some Ruby on Rails, and Shopify development. I am also conversational in German, since German is a pretty popular language around the tech world from what Ive seen. Im currently 21 years old, I speak English, Spanish, Finnish, and German, and can code in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby and Python, am a certified Linux System Administrator, and Id like to think that Ive overcome more difficulties and had more life experiences than most people twice my age have.</p>

When I wrote it, I was using FirefoxOS on my phone, and working out from my apartment. While there were apps that ran an interval timer, there was no app that allowed you to customize the intervals for the timer. All of them basically gave you the times and cycles, and you had to comply. I decided that that wasn't good enough for me, so I threw together this app and published it to the Firefox Marketplace. Later, once FirefoxOS was discontinued, I migrated back to Android, and published the app in the Google Chrome Webstore. </p>
<p>The interval timer app is completely open source, but as of this moment, I'm the only contributor. If you're interested, you can find the code on <a href="https://github.com/wbrawner/interval-timer">GitHub</a></p>

<h3>workout generator app</h3>
<p><a href="http://wbrawner.com/workout-generator" target="_blank" class="logo-link"><img class="project-logo" src="{{ url_for('static', filename='img/workout-generator.png') }}"></a>Back when I was first learning Python, I wanted to put my skills to the test, so I did various programming challenges in order to learn new things and practice what I already knew. They were fun, but I wanted to try something that was a little more along the lines of my personal interests. Having grown up in a gym, I figured it would be cool to write up a workout generator. Sure enough, I ended up doing it and got it to be fully functional, on the command line. Most people, however, don't tend to use a command line so it probably would have never gone anywhere. Since my work at the time required I write code in PHP, and sometimes use the Laravel framework, I decided to translate the app and rebuild it as a web app instead of a command line program. All worked well, and I had a running demo of it live on my personal site for some time, but I decided to take it down in favor of moving it back to Python. I personally have a preference for Python, due to it being the first programming language I truly learned, and it's extensive use within Linux.</p>
<p>The workout generator app is also completely open source. Likewise, I'm the only contributor, but I hope to see that change in the future. If you're interested, you can find the code on <a href="https://github.com/wbrawner/workout-generator">GitHub</a>. The old, PHP version written with Laravel is also available on <a href="https://github.com/wbrawner/workoutgenerator-legacy">GitHub</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://sinconsa.com" target="_blank" class="logo-link"><img class="project-logo" src="{{ url_for('static', filename='img/sinconsa.png') }}"></a>Sinconsa Consultores is a business operated by a friend a former co-worker of mine. This was my very first professional web development project. When I first wrote it, I had a very limited knowledge of web development, and wrote out all 15 or so pages using only HTML, CSS, and a little bit of JavaScript. This was obviously ridiculous, and incredibly inefficient to make updates. With these factors in mind, it made sense to power the website with WordPress, so I was given the opportunity to make the migration.</p>

It began as a basic HTML/CSS single-page website, then I decided to charge it up with WordPress and move a few things to their own pages. The motivation behind this move was that I had been using WordPress quite a bit in my work at the time, so I wanted to learn the ins and outs in order to do my job better. Some time later, I stopped getting so many WordPress tasks and so my desire to learn it faded a bit. I have nothing against WordPress, but I wanted to get back to my Python roots, and have a bit more control over everything running. Thus, I rewrote my website in Python using Flask, not for work or any other professional necessity, but simply for the joy of writing code in a language I'm more familiar with.</p>
<p>I decided to make my personal website open source as well. If you're interested, you can find the code on <a href="https://github.com/wbrawner/flask-site">GitHub</a></p>
