I'm a lifelong Marylander (born to Jamaican parents in 1974), Takoma Academy graduate, 2-time University of Maryland graduate (computer science, MBA), a husband and father of twin 7-year-olds (boy, girl). I've spent the majority of my working life writing software, but the most recent 8 years leading and growing individual software engineers and teams. My fandoms include, sci-fi, videogames, jazz trios, and LEGO (among others).
