It all started with my Texas Instruments graphing calculator that we needed to buy for school. When I realized it was exactly the same way to make your own games, I learned ActionScript 2.0 to make early Adobe Flash interactive thingies. Then I wanted to make computers do "real" things, beyond the sandbox that is a Flash program. That's when I picked up Bash, and then Ruby, and then C... eventually you can fast forward to today, where I make a living as a build engineer working on the code for speakers and headphones!
