My elevator introduction:
Hello, my name is Karl Smith. I grew up in a small town and went from high school to US Navy boot camp in 4 days. My 5+ years in the Navy turned me into the person I am today, a Submarine Qualified former reactor operator. After the Navy I worked numerous jobs while getting an Associates Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. It was during college that I met my best friend and wife. After college my first “real” job was saving the world from Y2K as an RGP programmer. After the world was safe I moved on to COBOL and HIPAA compliance. A downsizing lead me to my current company. Over the last 15 years I grew my knowledge and changed rolls as needs changed. Currently my title is Software Release Engineer. I have been supporting programmers for 10+ years but I miss hands on coding. Recently, I started the #100DaysOfCode challenge to learn python in my spare time.
