Software/Firmware developer since 1980. First programming job was at [[Texas Instruments]] working on the [[TI-990]] [[Minicomputer|minicomputer]].  In 1986, as the 990 product line sales were dwindling, I became the sole remaining person responsible for maintaining the operating systems [[DX10]] and [[TI-DNOS|DNOS]] until I left the company in 1988.

Grandson of [[Thomas Marvin Williams]].

I grew up in [[Meridian, Mississippi]].  At the time, I thought Meridian was a big city (population around 48,000.)  I was not prepared for life in [[Houston]] where I lived at the start of my job at TI.

I received a [[Bachelor of Science|BS]] degree in [[Industrial Technology]] from [[Mississippi State University]].

I currently live in [[Cumming, Georgia]] where I code primarily in [[C (programming language)]].
