Take the squad on a transcontinental holiday.
What are two random facts about you?
  1. I have played the tuba for over a decade.

Definitely some type of seafood dish like a Lowcountry boil or maybe even some surf and turf action.
Where is a place you’d love to travel someday?
London during Wimbledon would be cool.

2014 BCS National Championship. I got to go to Pasadena and see the game in the Rose Bowl stadium, went to Disney Land. The best part is it was all free because I was in the band. The only thing that could have made it better is if Auburn had won.

By using things like Google Cloud Functions, Node.js and puppeteer I can setup daily jobs to collect information I was collecting by hand (leaving more time for ping pong).

The need for privacy is really being taken seriously with GDPR and soon the CCPA. It makes the job a bit harder, but I also like that these things are here.
