Well, I was born on a normal day in July, 1981 and have been creating chaos ever since. Born in North Carolina, but raised in the aftermath of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan, I have been messing around with computers nearly my entire life. I wrote my first program in assembly when I was 11. In my early teens I ran a BBS connected to Fidonet and started building a website for my band. In 1999 I was introduced to Linux, and it was love at first compile. I started my career in IT in the early 2000's doing IT for a Car Dealership in Charlotte NC. I wrote my first major web app in Cold Fusion (an ecom app) at that time. In 2006 I left Charlotte and moved down to Columbia where starting working as a developer, freelancer and consultant. Currently I am working as a freelance developer and DevOps consultant!!


Thoughts Before the New Year

Well, the year 2020 is about to come to an end. And we can hardly wait! What an absolute fuck fest this year has been! I started out this year working for a new company….in what became a very toxic environment very quickly. I nearly had a heart attack. Left that company and had two stients put in, clearing some blockage out of my heart. A few months of rehab and medication swapping and I feel better then I have in at least 5-6 years! On top of that, I recently started a new job, currently a contract, at Etsy and I couldn’t be happier! All of this happened in parallel to Covid-19 and the Election 2020! My oldest daughter is about to turn 15 and I get to start officially teacher her how to drive. She finished her second season of Fast Pitch Softball strong and hopfully she can play in a spring season this time around. My youngest is 6 and half-way through the first grade. She wants to add gymnastics to the figure skating.
