About 13 years ago, I entered the tech industry as a technical support specialist. Within a year, I had advanced to traveling around the world to manage data imports. I used the downtime I had while traveling to learn programming. After one year, I started doing contract and consultation on the side. The following year, my employer hired me as one of the key developers on the biggest project they had ever attempted. I have spent the last several years in startups, which has provided me with many opportunities for growth. The experience gained in these fast-paced environments is invaluable. I have a passion for solving problems. Whether it is coding, playing Breath of the Wild, working with others or some random task around the house, I`m happiest when I have something to figure out. ©
