I was born and raised in Louisiana, and am now a home-owner in the state of Washington.
In the second half of high school, I became incredibly interested in how computers work, particularly how "the internet" works. This has led me on a lifelong journey of becoming a network engineer, and an enthusiast for tech products that are not only interesting and cool - but workable and fits into our lives. I've worked inside the pharmaceutical industry, a software company, and currently now a government agency. The differing facets of each organization intrigues me to learn more about businesses and other aspects of industries - and not just totally focusing on being a technical guru. And so with knowledge in IT, and knowing what businesses need, I've grown skills as a communicator, "translating" to those that don't know the tech stack the way I know it. Working as a collaborator, and seeing those of other areas not as my competitor but an opportunity for integration and growth. Context. Far too often products are advertised down our throat but we have no idea if the "tech" will actually will make or do anything better. It's sort a shot at the dark, with hype driving it all. I want to change that. I want to change the tech scene to be about asking the right questions and identify the requirements to build something that will excel your business - and not having to skimper around other corporations flat, single-minded, products.
I have also meshed with the the DeFi, Cryptocurrency and Web3 ecosystems. I think the general idea of data privacy, and financial sovereignty are something that resonate with me. The tech stack supporting DeFi and web3 ecosystems is certainly interesting, and I am curious of growing the skills to know and support it myself. I am curiously engaging with the communities where I can.
In general, I am a theorist, a thinker, problem solver, and sustainability-minded. I want to drive upward change in our societies and cultures, and focus on what matters what are the impacts, and giving time, space, and freedom to those working on their passions.
