So today I'm dissecting popular IT nerds.

We've got Jose Garcia.

And Jose, would you like to introduce yourself and tell us where you're working and what your title is?

So as, you know, some of these,

some of this equipment was, you know, readily available for me to take over and just play with,

I started getting a lot of interest into how technology works. And essentially that pointed me into the direction of computers um so so tell me a

little more about the uh the electronics and the things that you learn to do and like all of the
