I’ve been around computers my whole life.

In the 80s, my dad was wiring networks and building PCs for local businesses.

I started coding in elementary school, carried it through high school, earned a computer science degree, and ran a consulting company building software for companies.

Then AI hit.

And everything I learned before, every hour of coding, debugging, and building, compounded into an advantage.

The point isn’t nostalgia.

It’s momentum.

You don’t start from zero.

Every skill stacks.
