Dealing with Imposter Syndrome I’ve been in the tech industry for over 15 years now. I started working as an intern at 15 years old for a local school district. It mostly helping them go through e-waste from schools for recyling during the summer. It progressed to helping with new build outs for computer labs and delivery components to on-site technicians at the schools. I did this until I graduated from high school (but only during the summers, my school time was all tied up thanks to the IB program). ...

My Journey with Python I’ve been working at my current job for over 10 years now (I started in May of 2014, I can barely believe it’s been this long).

This is really a place for me to just put my thoughts down. If I have something fun to share, like a new project that I’m working on at home, or a cool piece of code I’ve written, maybe I’ll share it here too. In either case, expect to see a not-so-frequent-but-maybe-frequent stream of updates. No promises on quality of content either. ...
