My first public recognition for system design and programming was when I won a National Navy Award in the 1980s. I proved it was possible to create a spectrophotometer using common materials that could be as efficient and precise when compared with certified systems costing tens of thousands of dollars. My son asks me this all the time and it’s easy to answer: “Why not?” My first paying client was the State of Louisiana in 1995. However, personal experience was much earlier as I tried to figure out how my Dad’s HP-9100A calculator really worked. Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) with certifications as an MCP with a focus in SQL Server and Software Development The rules have changed here. Before cross-platform application design was a thing, whatever the native device would recognize and run was a winner. Today, there is a lot of promise around the framework provided by ASP.NET Core and building an array of systems, regardless of their platform. Using this modular framework, I currently like to use C# for system processes and rely on JavaScript to handle all the user interaction components.

Do it, fix it, try it. The most important and observable result of an action bias in excellent companies is their willingness to try things out, to experiment.
Growing up in Santa Clara, California, I spent summers surfing along the coast. I was especially fond of the waves in Huntington Beach. Shooting the 1,800 foot pier was a thrill that never left me even after slamming into it one summer.
