I became interested in computers through games, and was fascinated the first time I saw one play video (1993-ish?) That grew into an interest in controlling them, with programming being the natural route. I got a book of BASIC code when I was about 11, and ended up being able to take some programming classes at about 14. College for Computer Science meant some intro programming classes, and I started taking part in programming competitions. After graduating, my first software that had much meaning to me was "KhedNes", an NES emulator that I worked on, on and off, from about 2008-2014. Professionally, I worked on a piece of backup software that had 10s of thousands of companies as customers at its peak. That was definitely a neat thing to think about.
