Hi. I'm Stephen and excited about the trainings I've tried and seen thus far

Dabbled with computers and coding when i got to unpack the TRS-80 as a kid working with my uncle who was the manager at Radio Shack at the time.

Followed that up being the computer lab setup guy in high school using Commodore 64s.

Got to hangout at UNO (University of New Orleans) Computer with older friend that was a computer science major abd fiddled around with fortran and the other languages.

Attended UNO myself but transferred to Delgado Community College a week later, got assigned to the Media Productions Center and that began a journey I’m still on.

I’ve dabbled with tech the whole while especially to further my media productions journey (Still missing my Commodore Amiga Toaster :cry: :blush:) but I’ve never really deeped dive before.

Started a media production company with my brothers and while they finished their obligations, i started going through old files and projects running across old tech projects.

Covid shut every thing down so with that time i decided to get into by starting to do things like setup WordPress via CLI.

That led to picking up python and web3 got me into solidity using hardhat and foundry

I want to improve my coding, dev and programming knowledge and skills to make sure the content we produce in-house and produce for others can make it into the nooks and crannies across the multitude of physical, digital aka “phygital” and fast improving virtual, augnented, mixed possibilities (in) immersive realistic experiences (or VAMP(i)IRE / V.A.M.P.(i).I.R E. as I’ve coined it) formats, channels and platforms.

Game plan now is to take apart our traditional “burned in” media productions frameworks and workflows aporoach by upgrading it into cross, trans and object-based media (flexible media) frameworks and workflows approaches.

Then taking that content, turning it into data, run it through ML to develop Algorithms that can be utilized by AI to help us reach those nooks and crannies :+1:t4:

Really liking where AI Agents and MCP are going so definitely rabbitholing them…

Glad to be here, thanks for having me
