I have been in IT primarily focusing in the Microsoft Platforms both on prem and Azure. I've gone from Engineer to Director and nonprofit to Enterprise. After a recent cultural shift in my previous employer I decided to strike out on my own and help others get the most of what they already pay for.
I wrote an unfinished Ranma 1/2 fanfic in the 90s,where do I start a class action lawsuit for IP theft that eventually shuts down all AI projects and suddenly we need an influx of Junior Engineers who can type basic powershell without chatgpt, thus I will have single handedly saved the economy.

If you're in St Louis I'm dipping my toes into my first Local Game Store open table running a DnD game.
Come to Game Nite on Watson and say hi and receive my appreciation 😊

The familiar (yet slightly modified) sounds of various The Legend of Zelda titles echoing throughout the house brings me calm.

The amount of employers who have shown me "the spot the dead squirrel was found" is only outnumbered by the active privileged accounts in AD that the person has been unemployed longer than 6 months
"Bird/Animal Contact" took out 13k customers in North Seattle this morning.
