Crafting Digital Solutions... One Line of Code at a Time

Robert C Smith's journey in Information Technology has spanned over 17 years, igniting his passion for coding during his studies at Sacramento City College. Influenced by his father, a long-time programmer himself, Robert delved into the field with an introductory class, mastering HTML using Notepad alone (IDEs were still a new concept). As his web development courses expanded over time, he earned his Webmaster, Level 2, Certificate of Achievement in 2008 and his Web Developer Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in 2011.

In the early stages of his career, Robert honed his skills in technical support and IT Help Desk roles, offering a rich exposure to diverse technologies. Navigating Windows servers, Linux servers, and macOS X in a single day, he became adept at intuitive adaptation to new environments. His career pivoted towards web development after winning a Webby Award for his final student project - a full website design and deployment for the Sacramento Second Saturday Art Walk.

During downtime from projects and client requests, Robert actively contributes to open-source projects on Github and keeps pace with evolving technology, currently exploring the recent advancements in AI by experimenting with them to learn ways they can be integrated into future web application projects.

If you get to know Robert on a personal level, you'll discover he proudly plays the role of a cat dad to Chase, his feline confidant. Entire weekends are often dedicated to their joint venture of binge-watching the latest sci-fi series on whichever streaming service holds unexplored content. Balancing the perpetual demands of his career with the affectionate needs of his cat, Robert maintains equilibrium through a surprising hobby.

Unveiling the Dual Canvas

Tech Maestro by Day, Award-Winning Artist by Night

Many of Robert's colleagues are surprised to find out is that beyond his stellar career in tech, he's a bona fide award-winning artist. While this website might scream coding genius, there's a whole other canvas where he's scooped up Best in Show at the State Fair and mastered the art of portraiture. Oils, acrylics, pencils - you name it, he's conquered it. So, while you navigate through his tech milestones, don't be shocked when you stumble upon a gallery of vibrant landscapes and skillful portraiture. Robert's not just a tech maestro; he's a double-threat creative, seamlessly weaving between the digital and artistic realms.

A gallery website dedicated to his fine art is under construction and will be completed in the Spring of 2024.
