If you could combine any two technologies or programming languages to create a new 'super tool' for engineering, which ones would you pick and why? Guided grid system coupled with a raspberry pi that does not take a lot of hardware to make it work with software. The reason for this is let say you have a garden you want to automate weedeating. You have to have a 2d plane with limits etc, I have yet to see a viable solution for this for an outside garden where you can plot plants (Use AI of course) and rake all weeds etc from all other areas. This eliminates weeds altogether.

Can you share an experience where you collaborated with a team to achieve a common goal? What role did you play, and how did working together contribute to the success of the project?
My team was tasked with converting an acquisition company we took on. Our main goal for this was converting all current applications to our platform. To achieve this goal we created a spreadsheet with a hit list of tasks we needed to complete with columns like due date, definition of done, and 100% of completed. This was used to report up to the chain of command and allow us to see at a glance where resources were needed to project how long it would take.Each of us including myself took on tasks on an ongoing basis and we held morning meetings to check in progress and talk about road blocks.
What is your proudest professional accomplishment?
My team and I upgraded a project for mobile, website, and windows services to replace an legacy system written in VB.NET. This system was massive in size and took my team of 17 developers, database admins, and QA working together with the business unit to accomplish in less than 14 months. We had set back with staff, business knowledge, and sometimes a bit of chaos trying to figure out what was next or what connected to what.

As of now I have been writing Blazor/MUAI applications lately.

With over 20+ Years under me I have messed with alot of different techs and concider myself a principal full stack engineer.
