My story starts with nerding out over computers and the internet at a young age. I started building my own PCs when I was about 16yo and even had my own computer repair and game computer building business for years. I eventually needed to learn marketing, and wound up working in marking for a number of years because I got hooked and spent most of my marketing career programming CRMs to automate marketing campaigns. Email, text messages, internal and external communications, I automated all of it in different CRMs.
I always had an interest in code, but never got beyond LAMP servers, HTML, CSS, and terminal commands for a long time. But I always figured I would make the transition from programming CRMs to programming websites and apps. So I decided to eventually go to OSU to get some computer science education.
I look forward to talking with you about a development or project management role you need filled!

Books
This is a section for the books I've read that I think are relevant to prompt & AI Engineering. I have also included a X conversation thread that explains why I chose the categories of books that I have here.
Over the last several years I have read over 400 nonfiction books, this is a fraction of them.

College is mostly a scam at this point.

You pay $200k+ to get a piece of paper that says you can follow instructions and sit still for 4 years.
Meanwhile, the most successful people I know either dropped out or never went.
The fundamental issue is that most universities have become massive real estate portfolios with bloated administrations that happen to also run schools on the side.

The education part has become secondary to the business of managing endowments and facilities.
I no longer think college is worth it for most people.

The value prop is completely broken:
- Crippling debt
- Outdated curriculums
- Professors disconnected from reality
- Woke ideology prioritized over critical thinking
Learn a skill. Start a business. Skip the debt.
