I like dogs and I like technology. I'm an iOS software engineer with 7+ years of professional experience and worked in IT for a large company for several years before that. I am also a holiday lighting enthusiast and enjoy merging technology with my lights. I've had an automated light display since 2006 and have been using RGB pixels since 2014. I enjoy teaching people how to use RGB pixels for their lighting projects.
