Konbanwa!

My name is Harrison Merrill, and I'm a senior at BYU-I studying software development technology with an emphasis in web development. I live in the future (by about 14 hours) - specifically, I live in Okinawa Japan with my wife, two boys (ages 6 and 2), and dogs. My wife works for the US Air Force as a maintainer (mechanic) for C-130J's, and we have previously lived in Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan, doing the same work, meaning we have lived in Japan for 8 consecutive years (and I admit that I am still functionally illiterate).

I also volunteer as a key support liaison for the 1stSOAMXS, and as the branch activity committee chair, both of which mostly involve me cooking for and feeding large groups of people. When groups get over a certain size, that almost always means smoking several pork butts, brisket, hot dogs, and mac & cheese, or otherwise making hawaiian style food, but for smaller groups I lean heavily on asian-pacific, italian, mexican, and french cooking styles. When I need to relax and do something that isn't school, family, community, or beach oriented, I spend my time learning new recipes and cooking techniques, painting miniature figurines, watching films, and playing various types of video, board, and tabletop games.

Class Units: Assignments and Teaching Demos

Each unit of this class required completing multiple tasks. Document icons signify assignments, where we were given varying amounts of scaffolding or restrictions on our code while we demonstrated out understanding. Meanwhile, earning-ears icons denote teaching demos that were entirely reliant on our own creativity and approach to design and showcase in order to record a teaching video to explain a concept to our team. By browsing from earlier to later units, our growth as students and developers can be seen by the consistently improving techniques used and advanced concepts demonstrated. This page serves as the final and primary demonstration of a well styled web page.
