Aspiring hacker. I discovered HN through pg's essays, and have been inspired ever since. During the day, I'm a Business Intelligence Engineer.
At this point, looking forward to participating in the community, and giving back in any way shape or form in the future.
Would anyone in San Diego be interested in getting together for coffee or lunch during the day?
I studied Religious Studies in college, but have always loved coding (started with Basic, Pascal, C, into others) in my free time. One of my favorite jobs early on was where the lead of the department took the time to…
Sometimes I get some pretty bad headaches from staring so intently at the screen. I've found that taking breaks every few hours or so, going outside, taking a breath of fresh air, and then staring at something in the…
I'm not from an EE background, but I would imagine that the questions I like to ask would also apply to you to help gauge a possible employer. 1) What's your day like? 2) What would you say are some of the biggest…

Still getting started, something that I had always "ignored" (not necessarily scared me) was using my own day-job money to hire someone. I always figured, "make a logo? Sure, I can do that." As an aspiring hacker, I was…
I love blank books. I feel like there's so much potential to fill it with random thoughts, ideas, doodles. Most of all, I have a greater appreciation for just being able to exercise my handwriting. I feel like that is…
Aside from bills, maybe also consider some kind of personal renting app? For example, if my neighbor wants to borrow my lawnmower, your app could help set up the due date, automate the reminders, and maybe even take…
I consider myself a religious man, and always find myself getting frustrated with protesters/sign holders/judges like the ones in the video. Not only for their blatant disregard for--in this case--the Gospel, but their…
