About me

I'm a Georgia native and have lived here all my life- except for 3 looooong months I spent in New York City. I've always had an interest in how things work. I loved to take stuff apart even at a young ago and if there were a few extra pieces left over when I put stuff back together, it must have been a flaw in the original design. Professionally, I am a software engineer with Acuity Brands Lighting working on a product that collects data and can issue commands to streetlights over a mesh network. For fun, I'm into gaming ( board, rpg, minis, card, computer ) and learning new things - when I have time and I'm not involved with family activities.
