Greeted on my 1st day of work after college with a Radio Shack TRS-80. Spent a QA7 hours creating a ticket printing program that boosted productivity over 400%.

I bucked the trend and went with Android vs. an iPhone. I don't wait in line for 6 hours every time a new version comes out.

Tried the Oculus Rift DK2. Mind was blown by the possibilities of virtual reality. Started developing small VR experiments.

Assembled my first custom gaming rig with an AMD Athlon processor and GeForce 2 graphics card. The feeling of pressing that power button for the first time was unforgettable.

Began exploring AI tools and large language models. Started building custom AI applications and automating daily tasks.
