It was developing the international web presence of our parent company back during the web industry's infancy that not only got me started, but left me responsible for our entire web presence from in-house dedicated servers to Google’s cloud instances going forward. I kept doing it because this was a labor of love as much as it was necessity for our success as a small business.
I ran that business in the US with international partners for 15 years, but I kept wanting to come back to focus on my passions. In 2014 I enrolled at Oregon State University, and completed my degree in 2016 with a B.S. in Computer Science.
I've been with L3 Harris for four years working on classified software for command and control of satellite and ground based communication systems as both a full stack software developer and more recently DevOps Engineer / Lead
