In middle school, I always spent a lot of time on computers. One day a bully was making fun of me for it, calling me a nerd and such. A friend stood up for me, saying “Just watch, he’ll be your boss some day.” If he was right, and computer knowledge could make me this bully’s boss, then I could enact revenge. So I dedicated my life to learning tech.

OK just kidding — the bully wasn’t my motivation, but I did love experimenting on computers as a kid and was always curious about how they work. This led me to take classes in programming and electronics, which I loved, so here I am.
