i love your pictures of your trip to Legoland! I've never went but certainly dream of going given how much I lived and breathed the space legos when I was a kid!
I was educated as an architect but I found my passion in software architecture and development.
Many skills that I have learned in my architectural education have enabled me to excel at designing, building, and explaining software systems:
The ability to change scales and my point of view from the micro to the macro.
The ability to think in three dimensions and draw what I am visualizing.
The ability to organize and manage complex projects and systems.
