The first time I saw a computer, I was amazed that by typing things into it, I could create programs, draw on the screen, and make something new appear. Many years later, technology became an essential part of my life. I have a B.S. in Communication, I’m a Systems Analyst, and I completed a postgraduate program focused on business intelligence and big data analytics.
As a software engineer, I work on building, improving, and maintaining applications. I enjoy solving problems, improving processes, and helping people through technology.
I’m happily married, and I enjoy reading, playing guitar, learning new things, and building useful software.
I think I probably do. I read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, and I still enjoy playing StarCraft II with friends. That should count for at least a medium-sized geek badge.

I would probably spend more time making music. I might be a bad musician, but I would still be a musician.
I miss how innocent the world felt. Of course, maybe the world was not actually more innocent and I was just the innocent one. But I think that still counts as something I miss about being a child.
What I like most is that software gives me the chance to help people, improve processes, and keep learning deeply. There is always another layer to understand, another problem to solve, and another way to make something better. What I like least is probably when technology gets in the way instead of helping, especially when something that should be simple becomes unnecessarily complicated.
Wikipedia. I love that you can start by looking up one simple thing and somehow end up reading about ancient history, black holes, or a country you suddenly want to visit.

To become a better version of myself and help others along the way.
