Who's driving
I've worked in IT since 2002: network manager at Bellevue Baptist, systems engineer at ProTech Systems Group, datacenter and capacity planning at FedEx, and now pre-sales at ProTech Services Group. I run Qwen models on a Mac with MLX and LM Studio, and an NVIDIA Jetson Orin for edge projects. My wife Amanda and I have taught students at Bellevue Baptist for more than ten years.
Why dice81. Dice was my white 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet on black tires. 81 is the year I was born. The gauges up top are a nod to its dash.
