# Andrew Sobotka - Software Developer
Born at the absolute perfect time when the internet was just starting out, I was obsessed with computers, robots, my uncle’s Atari, and sci-fi.
I still remember when my dad gave me a little electric motor and a battery and had me see how it worked… to which minutes later he heard a loud pop as I had plugged the wires into the outlet to see if it would make it go faster.

Since then, my interest in making things faster and more powerful has been insatiable.

## The Art of Note Taking
Digesting content and re-writing it in a way that I best understand it brings me such joy, that I continued to take organized (color coded) notes from grade school to... well, now I still do.
There is something about understanding something in your own way that helps me remember, build, collage, and create. With this superpower, I hope to use it for positive improvements on communities I am involved with, my hobbies, and my career.
I've also been really interested in the [Zettlekasten Method](https://zettelkasten.de/posts/overview/), and how to utilize it with [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) (my new favorite note taking and markdown app).
