Chris's first computer was a Commodore 64, but he didn't realize the true power of computers until he discovered he could create his own Doom levels. While he still enjoys computer games, his focus has shifted to helping businesses ship high-quality secure software faster via [Saturday Morning Productions](https://saturdaymp.com/).

Everyone and anyone, including you, are welcome to join either as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others.
I have degrees in EE and CS and have worked in industries from broadcast communications to nuclear power to SCADA. Currently call myself semi-retired, working part-time as an IT manager at a local healthcare clinic. Our first computer was a Heathkit HS-151, in 1984, programmed in GW-Basic and Turbo Pascal. My first IT summer job was writing Cobol code on an HP mainframe terminal. I love to work with embedded systems and have worked mostly in C and C++. These days I usually program in Python. I'm curious about many things; YouTube's algorithm has a hard time with me .

My first paid programming job was a summer job for my high school, from which I learned that (a) good variable names are important, (b), algorithms are cool, and (c) you shouldn't bid a fixed-price contract. After high school, I received as B.Sc. in Computer Science (1986) from the University of Alberta and an M.Sc. in Computer Science (1988) from the University of Victoria.</p><p>I have worked on “close-to-the-hardware” projects including high-performance networking, i/o, and computing systems for most of my career.

I got into programming because I wanted to build an app for this startup idea I had. Turned out the app idea was terrible, but learning to code wasn't. I'm still hacking around on projects and attempting to build Startups, but I also work as a full-stack developer at Punchcard Systems.
