  • It wasn’t my first RPG, but playing through Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the US) in middle school made me fall in love with music.

    I ended up asking my parents for a digital piano and acoustic guitar which eventually spiraled into download ModPlug Tracker to sequent music. I didn’t have a powerful computer back then so I’d record one-shot samples from my digital piano and spent a few hours each day trying to create my own music.

    I stopped recording around 2012 because I got really sick and music didn’t pay the bills. I’m a father now with a 5 year old son and I’m looking forward to sharing my love of music with him.

    If anyone is interested, I can share one of my very early tracks and one of my last recordings to listen to. It’s one of my favorite things to do, sharing the culmination of my work.



  • Oh man, I haven’t applied for a new gig in the last 4.5 years so I’m sure the landscape is so much more different and difficult now.

    I do have recruiters reaching out to me fairly often on LinkedIn. Is that an option for you? I know devs can be put off by recruiters. What kind of clients or companies have you written code for? I feel like that really boosts my visibility.

    I’m in California and one resource I tap into often are the colleges/university job postings for software developers.

    Definitely continue working on BE and creating a portfolio project that showcases your BE and DB skills.

    You should see some of the “blueberry” muffins they sell at the store nowadays. It’s not even blueberry let alone fruit. Some are so bad and cheap it’s just fruit flavored pellets with the packaging saying “Blueberry flavored” muffins.
