⚾ SECRET ORIGIN - UNLOCKED

Before the servers, before the platforms, before the cloud - there was the mound.

Grambling State University, on a baseball scholarship. Pitcher. 31-5 across four seasons. NCAA D1 All-American Honorable Mention. Gamma Beta Phi Honor Society. Started in Electrical Engineering, pivoted to Computer Science when the code started calling louder than the curveball.

The discipline it takes to throw 100+ pitches in a game? That same discipline builds platforms that manage 5,400 VMs. The composure under pressure on a 3-2 count? That's the same composure during a production outage at midnight.

Every engineer has an origin story. This one started on the diamond. 💎

Achievement Unlocked!
