+## Story
+
+It's been what now? Just over 10 years since I started working in computing professionally.
+ Right after dropping out of a Computer Science program too (oops)! Oh, and about 14 since I learned my first programming language.
+ Guess I’m not just some random kid on the internet anymore.
+
+My story starts like many others'.
+ My family couldn't get the WiFi working when broadband internet hit the shelves, leaving me to pick up the slack.
+ What was seen as a knack for electronics quickly snowballed into a middle school robotics class, followed by a summer school course in C# programming.
+ In high school, I managed three semesters of plain ol’ C, along with a few summer courses in electrical engineering, photography, and web design.
+
+University Java courses were a breeze.
+ However, failing to attend Discrete Math II, Physics, and Calculus classes ended in disaster.
+ One would imagine that studying computer science would impart the imperative of having some semblance of structure in one’s life.
+ Yet, naivety sounded the horns of triumph: I dropped out.
+
+"Real life" had started for me; I didn't have $100 to my name, let alone a bed.
+ I pleaded with both friends and extended family to host me while I figured things out.
+ Within a few months, I managed to secure a job as a C++ programmer for a company that provided custom software solutions aimed at healthcare—wild!
+ This time was short-lived, and out of desperation I decided to enlist.
+ As God would have it, I ended up in computer networking despite my best efforts at Navscoleod.
+ Looking back at that time, I marvel at how I operated.
+ A boy fixed on dreams of grandeur, yet consumed by the consequences of naivety.
+
+Imagine being a hobbyist and pseudo-classically trained programmer in the military.
+ Your only task: to maintain critical communications networks.
+ What a treat!
+ Delving into networking, protocol analysis, and network services, I found myself involved in everything related.
+ This led to redesigning network management systems, building data center environments, employing remote communication systems, and eventually becoming the lead for a cybersecurity initiative.
+
+After separating, I held several contracting positions, including a multi-year stint as a Security Operations Center Lead Engineer.
+ While tackling cybersecurity challenges in air-gapped environments, I grew weary of the pace of government work.
+ These days, I’m a full-time network development engineer, designing and deploying network infrastructure for a Tier-1 cloud provider.
+ In my spare time, I either work on personal projects or daydream of the financial freedom that would allow me to dedicate myself to those projects full-time.
