For decades, I wore nearly every hat the library profession offers — School Media Specialist, Reference Librarian, Branch Manager, Cataloger, Web Designer, Board Member, Computer Support Tech, and most recently Academic Librarian — frequently juggling several at once. It was an eclectic, occasionally chaotic, and genuinely rewarding run.

Now retired, I'm turning that same restless curiosity toward two things I've always loved: writing and building software. I'm eager to see where it leads.
