I mainly worked outside of tech in hands-on jobs serving lots of people. My faith says to love and serve others to make their lives better. So, retail and hospitality have been very rewarding. Our current crew is close like a family. I am interested in moving into tech professionally, though. Especially if it's for open-source software or a paid offering that improves people's lives.
