I do work for the Defense Information systems Agency (DISA) www.disa.mil whereby I support the development of an IT project that will provide customer support and training resources via the web for soldiers that use command and control systems. Prior to joining DISA I worked at the NFB Jernigan Institute as an access tecnology specialist where I evaluated technologies used by blind people. I was primarily interested in those technologies that would aid blind individuals in persuing science, technology, engineering, and math. I got a Bachelor's of Arts in history with a minor in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. If you want to learn more about me, you can find me on FaceBook, and you can follow me on twitter. hey, I just wanted to clarify a few points concerning this interview with me.
