Hello, I'm Louie Knolle! I worked outdoors guiding, farming, and conserving land before becoming a software developer.
Throughout my career, I have always been drawn to learning new skills and bettering the natural world. I'm grateful to have found a career that allows me to do both.
Engrained by years of studying Latin and Ancient Greek languages, I have a passion for learning and understanding the fundamentals of things. I love to learn new technologies and apply them to solve problems.
