as the seasons change
I watch the clouds passing by
while sipping my tea

I’ve loved technology for most of my life. This started with things like electronics, space, robots, and computers when I was little. This continued as I grew older into radios, especially shortwave, and other communications devices. And computers become a louder and louder obsession.

Career-Wise: Much of my career has been spent in general administrative roles. Things like administrative assistant, executive assistant, office manager, and project/team coordination. I’ve worked for a wide array of companies, including Seattle stalwarts Starbucks and Microsoft (check out the full list on my LinkedIn profile).

Deciding it was time for a change, I spent the pandemic earning an Associate of Technical Arts in Web Application and Cloud Development. While working on that degree, I also studied desktop support and took a few classes on Cisco networking. The purpose of those classes was to deepen my insights into the structure of the web and the internet. But that also turned out to be very helpful in keeping me employed as the web development world dissolved (see below).

My plan for work after finishing was to move into webdev roles. But I finished in 2022, right as major companies (Microsoft, Google, etc) started laying off software/web developers en masse. As I’m resourceful, I found myself doing some network administration and AV support. I do get to do some web work nowadays, mostly WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace support. I appreciate these bits of web dev work, and am working on getting fully into web dev.
