  • My first ever job was running a wood chipper under my uncles tree business. Did that almost every weekend for a number of years. Even sometimes in the winter. I wasn’t even a teenager when I first started this job.

    Second job was working in a warehouse at a company my mom worked at. They really needed weekend help.

    My third job was doing landscaping over the summer at a smallish company where my brother in law worked at. The owner loved to hire students for cheap.

    Fourth was a few software development internships ran by a research group at my college. I had a friend who was part of the group and vouched for me.

    My current job is my first true career job as a software engineer. The project manager from one of the internships I had actually got a job as CTO at this company. Offered me a junior position there out of college. Been there almost 6 years.

    I have applied to places where I certainly would have needed interviews, but I was never offered an opportunity.

    To make this even more awesome is that I’ve interviewed candidates myself at my current job for junior positions.








  • Anytime I finish a game is a pretty big achievement. Lots of games I play and just either get bored of or forget about. Stray, Cyberpunk, Subnautica, Outer Wilds, etc… I just can’t seem to finish games. I’m now trying to play RDR2, so hopefully I can complete it. Hogwarts Legacy is the latest game I’ve fully completed (last year), but I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter, so I feel like that helped.
