Ross Harrison discovered programming while he was an undergraduate at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His first programming class was a MATLAB class that was required for mechanical engineering. Despite bombing the class, he decided that it was a lot more fun than looking at CAD. He switched to computer science the next semester and never looked back. He has worked as a software engineer for over 10 years. Most of that time has been spent creating tools for digital publishers.

I would like to thank all of the great people I've worked with at Condé Nast, Rowan Technology, and 42 (Walrus!). I've been lucky enough to work on some pretty cool projects with some really awesome people. I've learned a lot about software and life.
