WIP

I saw a similar page created by a friend (now archived here) and thought it was a fantastic idea. Order is pseudo-reverse chronological. Categories loosely defined at best, incorrect at worst.

Astranis

My first real job huh? It was a blast working with so many kickass people who pushed harder than I thought we ever could:

  • John Gedmark + Ryan McLinko, thanks for hiring me
  • Girts Folkmanis, thanks for teaching me how to debug and how to teach
  • Steve Joseph, thanks for showing me how to dream
  • Sam Wight + John Bowen, thanks for being constant role models
  • Roshena MacPherson, thanks for being my first + best friend out here
  • Croccifixio Knight + Ho-Jung Yang, thanks for building two radios
  • Michael Christen + Mark Hill, thanks for teaching me how to slam it
  • Chris Tham, thanks for teaching me how to manage it
  • Bryan Hong, thansk for teaching me how to hire
  • David DiDomenico, thanks for teaching me how to build a factory
