A New Start

Life is full of new beginnings. Each day brings new opportunities and challenges. We need to learn to appreciate the gifts that we are given each day and make the best of it. Sometimes, the best gifts are those things that we think are problems, but these are the truly wonderful gifts because they bring growth in our lives and enrich our experience.

I started my professional life as a software engineer and along the way have taken various side routes in media production, marketing, P/R, and photography. These routes have expanded my vision and allowed me to see software development in whole new ways. While doing media production, we did a lot of customer interviews. I was always intrigued by the things that customers would say about how they used our products. Their responses were often different from how engineers think. As software developers (or developers of any consumer product), we need to think like our customers and listen to them.

As I start this blog, I want to share tidbits that I learn along the way and maybe some totally unrelated stuff that I find interesting. As the reader, may you always find me interesting and maybe even helpful.
