    not at all. i fell into computing in my mid 20s. somehow i managed to learn enough to get myself hired at one of the largest technology companies in the world where i’ve now been over 20 years.

    has it been easy? definitely not. without that classic computer science degree my peers have i’ve had to be scrappier and move faster to be on top of emerging tech where the playing field is a little more equal. i can this “surfing” the tech.

    since i started i’ve participated in the birth of the internet, mobile, public cloud, big data, startups and now ai.

    if you love it you can make it happen - just be realistic and stay scrappy ❤️
