Building LEGOs as a kid, making music as a teen, Excel Models in my early career. All of these things are creative. Excel is a form of functional programming. Nothing I've done has been more fun than combining these things and building web-apps myself. For some reason, I was told I wasn't very creative by teachers in the best, mostly because I'm bad at drawing, glueing, and folding things neatly.

For the love of learning new things and jamming on everything I think I know with others. For decades I thought I was not creative, but I know better now. I just love creating things.
