About Jonathan Christensen
Bienvenuto! My name is Jonathan Christensen. I was born in Boston Massachusetts, but currently live in San Clemente California! I write code for a living, dream of traveling, and enjoy driving my Subaru WRX STi. I started web development back in high school and decided this was the path I was going to pursue. Thankfully it is something that I enjoy every single day. The one reason why i enjoy programming so much is it allows me to express myself and lets my imagination take over. One analogy I tend to use all the time would be to a "carpenter". When a carpenter wants to create a new product he has to first purchase the stock (wood, glue, nails, sand paper) which can have a large overhead. If when building a product the carpenter creates a flaw he then needs to start over. However with programming my overhead is extremely low, and in fact the only real thing I could potentially waste would be my time.
Although I really do enjoy programming, it's not my only passion. Wrenching on cars and being outdoorsy would be close runners up. For quite some time I've been in the Subaru. To some people driving to work becomes monotonous but for me I actually enjoy giving the STi a work out. Not only do I enjoy driving, wrenching on my car (although can be tedious) usually makes me more excited to drive! One day I would love to get into the rally racing scene, or open wheel racing. If not that professional, I could at least convert my current Subaru STi into a complete track monster or a rally machine. This not only would be a fun project to work on but would really get my technical knowledge beyond the average technician. Well enough about me, if you enjoy my site please feel free to start up a conversation or chit chat!
