My name is Ian McKechnie and I am from Guelph Ontario, Canada, and am a third-year student at the University of Guelph. I took a class this year and wrote in Fortran for the first time. I absolutely loved it. Most of my previous experience is writing in C having spent all of my first and second-year writing in it. I am really excited to join this community and really hone my Fortran writing abilities.
