The first "program" I recall writing generated a hypotrochoid-like geometric curve using Logo in elementary school. Without realizing it, with just a few lines of simple instructions, I had created my first loop and the foundation for a lifetime love of computers and their potential to inspire creativity and solve problems.
I've been doing just that ever since, whether it's working on large-scale systems, early-stage startups, or helping friends and family with their annual holiday IT issues. I believe in the power of technology for doing good. Each day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and create something great!
