About

I’ve had a weird path. Age 14 - 26 I was an artist. Always drawing and painting. I got a shiny BFA from San Jose State to prove it.

As a kid, I adopted signing my art Oz, Ozten, and Oz10. I think this was because kids called my Ozzybear after an 80’s candy with that mascot or name.

I learned computers very late, starting in the last year of college and for 2 years after that I was doing art, but getting obsessed with the web. I was a self taught developer. I started working professionally in tech in 1999. 1999 - 2021 I’ve been a software developer at various places big and small.

Currently I’m learning the ropes of entrepreneurship, building things, and riding out the global pandemic like everybody else.
