I have been programming since I was 12 (in my mid-fifties now). I left IBM and started my first tech company in 1997. Haven't stopped since. I started programming in assembly. I have since then programmed in well over a dozen languages and have extensive experience in web applications, databases, cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, network communications and high-availability computing, among other things. I have most recently started working with AI and have integrated AI hardware into my development rack (Not ready for my data center racks at this time).

While I work with Windows (workstation/server) and MacOS, my companies run exclusively on Linux except for our graphic design systems. They predominantly use Windows.
