Howdy! I am a Texas native, returned home to San Antonio a few years ago. Outside of Texas, I lived ten years in Pennsylvania, six years in California and five years in Maryland. I went to school at Texas A&M University, where I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering, and later a MS in Computer Science. I worked in the bay area during the peak of the dot-com bubble, which was really exciting, but didn`t lead to fame, fortune and an early retirement. I also worked for the U.S. Navy for 10 years as a civil servant in defense acquisitions. There I worked on control systems, simulations and real-time software for unmanned ground vehicles, missile systems and an unmanned air vehicle. Most recently, I worked at Rackspace for almost 3 years, where I was developing web applications with JavaScript, Express, React, Docker and a bunch of AWS cloud technologies. I currently work for HEB as a Senior Software Developer, using Java Spring and Angular. Hobbies include playing/teaching chess and occasionally fumbling my way across a golf course. ©
