I hope everyone has had a Happy New Year and that the year has started off on a good note. I have a few new challenges this year as well as revisiting some old ones.

First, I would like to share more of what is on my mind, both technically and creatively via this blog.  I really have no idea how much traffic this blog receives, but my wife encourages me to write here since writing is not a strong point for me.  She hopes that by my writing in this blog, I can learn to express myself more clearly.

As for revisiting ongoing challenges, time management is one, organizing my home is another one; as well as furthering my career.  I finished my Bachelors of Science in Information Technology from the University of Phoenix at the end of last summer.  Now that I have a better understanding systems development, I hope I can grow my current Software Testing Engineer career into a Software Developer Engineer in Test. Ultimately, my goal is to lead a small team of testers in delivering a robust software product with comprehensive test coverage while meeting product deadlines. That is an ongoing challenge in the software industry that I would like to undertake.

Here’s to the next twelve months!
