Hi. I discovered dev.to from my 'corporate' Twitter feed (SW engineer at Gumstix and help out with marketing as gadget guru). I wrote my first 15-minute text based adventure in QBasic at the age of 9 and never looked back. I'm into HDL, HAL, OS, C/C++, making, learning and teaching.

Hello dev.to community! I started making games on the TI-83 to make class more interesting back in middle school. I took a break in college and my 20's to become a rocket scientist. Turns out it only sounds cool. Now I'm getting back to my roots via a Thinkful bootcamp with a focus on the MERN stack. Hope to see some of y'all out in the wild!
