Agile/Scrum

I have been working in an agile software development environment since about 2005. I have learned from the best and have experience as a software engineer, scrum master, and manager. I am currently a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) through Scrum Alliance.

Coaching

Over the years spent in corporate, I found that one of my true passions is helping people with their careers while coaching them to balance their drive for success and personal life. This passion has led to creating career-focused projects, websites, and even a startup.

Entrepreneur

In 2008, I read some fantastic books like Think and Grow Rich, The 4-hour workweek, and Rich Dad - Poor Dad. These books gave me the confidence and drive to pursue entrepreneurial activities on my nights and weekends. These activities have taught me more than any book could.

Leadership

I have led various organizations and initiatives for over two decades, both professionally and personally. Leadership is a skill that you can learn. To be a good leader, you need experience, but you also need to educate yourself regularly.

MetaVerse

I have been dabbling in the VR space since I purchased the Oculus DK2 in 2014. I created some virtual worlds, including a recreation of Aech's basement (Ready Player One) in Unity, and explored web-based XR tech with a-frame and JavaScript.

Software

My first program used a scripting language similar to C called 'SALT' to build scripts for my RPG MUD character to earn experience. Over the years, I have programmed in C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, Perl, and most recently in Solidity.
