I am a 67 year young full-time software engineer.

Expert remote worker. The Pandemic left us no other choices. When I am not at my home base in San Diego, CA, I enjoy traveling cross-country as a Digital Nomad in my Winnebago Solis.

I let my values guide my choices.

I provide tips for staying engaged, relevant, and employable. Some of my writing includes the catch phrase life-balance. I do not think life balance is what the successful Software Engineer is looking for.

Life balance is what our partners, siblings, and parents think we need.

We have been conditioned to believe that achieving life balance is crucial. However, the truth is we simply need a more effective approach to harmonize our goals with various aspects of our lives. It is possible to lead a fulfilling life without the constant threat of burnout, even if it appears imbalanced to others.

I think, the key lies in integrating our core values into the decision we make.

These are my core values:
