My first computer ran DOS, didn’t have a hard drive, and started up with a 5.25 inch flimsy floppy. It also came with a 9-pin dot matrix printer. Then I got a second computer around 1994 (when I was 15) and shortly later a modem which introduced me to the world of email, chatting, BBSes, and MUDs. I was hooked.

While attending college at UC Berkeley, I realized I did not enjoy coding in my Computer Science classes, but found an interest in technology within higher education. I now work in technology education and support at a higher education institution in the San Francisco Bay Area. My focus includes consulting, introductory computing, and multimedia.

My experience in higher education also includes user support, managed computer environments with Linux servers, and Linux system administration. Prior to higher education, I worked in IT Support at a storage management software company and as a Quality Assurance Engineer with a configuration management software company both in Silicon Valley.

My interests include new products and technologies, social software and its impact on human behavior, and technology and its effect on life. I also like photography, traveling, hiking, tennis, and baking.

Tech Generation is about technology, life with it, and the generation that uses it.
