Tech was and is my first love.

I first started programming as a kid on my neighbor's Commodore VIC-20, and later, my own C64. Early in my career, I mostly did computer repair and LAMP stack, with a smattering of JavaScript, C, C++, and Bash scripting. Later on I was a Perl programmer. These days, I'm a sysadmin and I write mostly Python and Bash scripts to automate server config and monitoring.

I have a BS in computer science, and an AS in Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET), which included electronic and computer systems design, troubleshooting and repair; microprocessor architecture; and low-level programming, including assembly language and machine code. Other subjects included LAMP stack, Subversion, Windows network administration, Cisco networking, and some infosec.
