Web Dev - Data Analyst - Teacher

I've always been intrigued by technology and remember creating my first Led Zeppelin tribute page in 2001. I wish I had kept at it, but I've been busy traveling to over 30 countries, teaching ESL, tasting delicious food, learning languages, playing music, and always keeping an open mind. I'm currently a freelance software engineer and data analyst living in China with my wife and daughter. Feel free to send a message just to say hello! :)

Though provoking! I enjoyed reading this. Reminds me of someone many years ago, who spent so much time practicing guitar, and it really bothered them that they were told how "gifted" or "talented" they were. They wanted people to see that they put in so many hours, and it was a lot of hard work, that was the reason they became as good as they were. I think that resonated with me and stayed with me since then.

It's great for others and yourself, to remind yourself that you are a hardworking individual, and you got to where you are because of that.

Right on! Sure, maybe talent (but where did THAT come from? transferable skills?) can help you start, but it's the extra time and effort that will really pay off in the long run!
