Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Do you have any internships or jobs you had before your current role?
I started my career a little early with the dot-com boom. I jumped into the entire space, and an interesting part of my education was that I was working alongside it.
I tried to cram as many hours as possible into my college days, devoting more time to being part of the dot-com bubble. That's where I learned a lot of technology.
I did a lot of internships during that time, and also took many courses on the side, like 2D animation, 3D animation, networking, Microsoft system engineering, and a Cisco network administrator course.
I was also working, so I learned how to assemble a computer on the hardware side. I worked for a technology company to understand how software is updated and how these processes are constructed.
