About Me

Hey there! I'm John Reyes, originally from a wholesome small football town in Texas and now navigating the hustle and bustle of a big city alongside my two incredible kids and the love of my life.

Journey:

I've worn many hats over the years – from an attorney, two-time entrepreneur, college administrator, to a high school algebra teacher. Currently, I'm rocking it as a Fortune 500 business executive, leading as the Director of Strategy Analytics for USAA's multi-billion dollar credit card portfolio.

Passions:

My heart beats for data and software engineering. I dipped my toes into coding back in 2008, attempting to create a video game in C++. The journey led me to Python and data science, and the rest is history. I've mastered the art of architecting cloud computing solutions, certified in AWS, deeply into GCP, and exploring the wonders of Firebase.

Beyond the Desk:

When not crunching numbers, you'll find me in the kitchen, whipping up wholesome and healthy delights – my family's favorite pastime. Freshly baked whole wheat bread is my latest obsession. Former soccer enthusiast turned disc golf aficionado, I'm on a mission to qualify for PDGA worlds. I balance intensity with the whimsical world of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Star Wars, and family board games.

Life Philosophy:

I live by the belief that learning is limitless. I approach challenges with confidence, knowing I can learn and synthesize anything. Coaching others to achieve their dreams is a passion of mine. The best way to learn? Dive in, where your performance matters.

Blog Corner:

My blog is a space where I share insights from my continuous learning journey, along with snippets of what I'm building and cooking. Dive in, enjoy, and find inspiration for your own adventures.

Join me on this journey of curiosity, growth, and the occasional delicious recipe!
