About Me

Gav Headshot

Hello! I'm Gavin Hensley. I’m a full stack developer that is on a constant mision to expand my knowledge in C#, .NET Core, Unity, and anything else that might fit into my projects I'm working on at the time. After some time in the audio industry, I found myself drawn more and more to the software I used. I wanted to know how they worked and interacted with the various media I was interested in. How can Shazam know what song is playing at the coffee shop? If I drop an object in a video game, how does the signal of that action send the information to the speakers and then to my ears? How does the software know there is even a digital representation of a floor there!? Those were the questions I wanted answered, and in knowing more, I could build my own soundscapes and worlds.

I have a bachelor’s degree in New Media and Communication Technology from The Ohio State University. There I learned the importance of understanding how people interact with technology and the social implications of said technology. I was taught UI and UX design as well as the history and the theories surrounding communication technology. There was some coding involved, but there is always more to learn, so I decided to enroll in the We Can Code IT boot camp in Cleveland, Ohio. As I gather knowledge and create new projects, I will put them on display on this page. Thanks for stopping by!
