Harford Community College
​
In August of 2018, Alex earned his Associate of Arts in Teaching, with a major in Teacher Education - Secondary Spanish, from Harford Community College (HCC). He received Institutional High Honors for this degree. Alexander worked full-time at McDonald's while he studied and worked part-time at his college, during his time associated with HCC. The degree required 60 credits for HCC, with some of the classes needing to be individually provided with the help of one of the college's deans at that time. This was due to an overall absence of interest from other students in degrees relating to Spanish language skills.
​

The Early Years of Computer Science
​
When he was 12 years old, Alexander was gifted his first computer. It was a Hewlett-Packard, and the computer had a Windows XP operating system. From time to time, James gained access to the world wide web. Through many arduous searches, Alexander finally found and downloaded Game Maker, version 6.1. Software that could enable one to create video games had been a dream and fantasy for James since he was even younger (possibly around 9 or 10 years old). Game Maker gave Alexander access to the synthesis of his own games, and eventually other programs, such as a simulator. He began learning Game Maker language (GML), and James has continued to use the Game Maker program into adulthood.
​
Adolescence and Computer Software Design
​
Alexander kept managing time and giving effort towards computer programming. In 2007, when James was 17 years old, he applied for, and completed, a class titled Computer Programming I at Havre de Grace High School. The course involved learning and creatively applying one manifestation of the BASIC computer programming language.
