Just a little place to drop some thoughts, things I learn, insights from my experiences, some astrophotography, personal project development updates, and anything else I want, on my platform! 🙂

Life long IT professional, enjoyer of science, and occasional gamer.

Professionally, I have been in the IT game for almost 30 years. Started off as a developer focused on database driven applications. What that means is building applications that store and use data. Usually this meant setting up the servers, building the application, and creating the databases to store everything. As my career progressed, I branched out in to many other areas of IT, running entire technology groups in small to medium companies, or diverse software/database/application teams in large companies.

Personally, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to try a great many things. Unicycling, juggling, figure skating, musical instruments (which I was _not_ good at), confectionary art (cakes and chocolates), reading so many books, woodworking, LEGOs, glass works, taking pictures of things in the night sky, and many others.

Throughout all of the personal hobbies, there has always been a thread of technology. Starting at an early age developing a BBS application with Turbo Pascal, creating little games in C, and exploring life improvement utilities in various languages. On the side of programming has been exploring different operating systems and user interaction concepts. My first OS was DOS 6.2, then I was introduced to Red Hat 5.1 Manhattan (thanks Nate Burnett!), and OS/2 Warp. This has all grown in to 3D development/sim life, dabbling in VR, still exploring operating systems, and always pondering how technology can improve lives.

These days, I also support my partner with her business making chainmaille jewelry and costume pieces. Check her out at: Siouxsiequeues
