Star field

As a teen, I learned to program on an Atari 800XL Was loads of fun. Got my first paying programming job on that machine. Wrote a starfield simulation for the end of show credits for a cable TV show. :-) Went on to get a degree and now have over 35 years experience in everything from C++, Vala, Ruby, PHP, R, and .NET. Also, have held about every job there is in our industry from junior developer to a VP at a consulting firm. These days I just freelance and pick and choose my projects. I've had a great career and really enjoy what I do.
