Ramone Burrell

Web Developer

Toronto, Ontario

Hello There!

I'm Ramone Burrell and this is my online resume and portfolio site. I also use it to blog about topics that are interesting or important to me.

I discovered my love for programming when I was first introduced to Information Technology in high school. My first project was called Hotel Astra, which was a reservation manager written in C for a hypothetical hotel of the same name. I loved it. I can recall how happy I was to see the lines of code that I was writing and building doing what I had intended them to do.

Shortly after leaving deCarteret College high school in 2009, I began pursuing a career in computer programming at Seneca Polytechnic, Seneca @York, where I spent over three years in a Computer Programming & Analysis program. I loved my time during college as it was a time when I was learning new ideas and knowledge and discovering my strengths and weaknesses.

Now, having a strong background in web development, my objective is to expand my knowledge into other areas of technology to advance my career and launch a new online platform for the private transportation / livery service industry.

I love to read and cook and my focuses are family, my career and being of help to others wherever and whenever I can.
