👋 Hi, I'm Ed.

Right now 🧑🏻‍💻

I'm a software engineer who's been building and leading teams for over 30 years, and I still love diving into complex projects and teaching others the craft.

I'm currently at MITRE working on government projects, but I have worked in the private sector for AT&T and ADP.

Why I'm on GitLab 🚀

I love everything about GitLab, the features, collaborators, and overall vibe. I use it everywhere:

• GitLab open-source contributions
• Work and personal projects
• GitLab administration at school
• In the classroom, which brings me to...

My passion for teaching 🎓

What started out as a side gig has become an extremely fulfilling experience. I teach Computer Science courses part-time at Monmouth University and Brookdale Community College, helping to align the programs with industry trends.

Where it all began 🖥️

I wrote my first computer program on a Timex Sinclair 1000. It was a wonderfully executed endless loop that sparked a decades-long career:

10 print "Hello"
20 GOTO 10

When I'm not working, I enjoy

spending time with my family 👩‍🦳 👧🏻👧🏻👦🏻
