Introduction – I am Timmy

Hello, fellow readers! My name is Timothy “Timmy” Hunter—yes, you may use the South Park reference, but it’ll cost you a nickel. 😉

I’ve been working in IT for ten years now, primarily in Help / Service Desk roles. Four years ago, I finally transitioned into an Administrator position, where I oversee an entire IT infrastructure and automate as many daily tasks as I can. Over the years, I’ve tackled a little bit of everything: mobile, satellite, POS systems, websites, Windows, macOS—you name it.

Believe it or not, this is my third attempt at going back to school. Yup, you read that right: third. My first stop was ITT Tech in my early twenties. I was two months away from a Networking degree when my grandmother—who caught the news before any official announcement—told me the school was suddenly closed. No warnings, no heads-up—just a sign on the front door. I lost my degree right there, but at least I qualified for student loan forgiveness which also removed all my college credits. It was a major setback.

For my second attempt, I enrolled at a local community college while working part-time jobs. Thanks to some government grants, I made it through three semesters. Then life hit me with a curveball, and I had to pause once again. That chapter closed sooner than I expected.

Fast forward to today: I’m at Full Sail University, determined to finish what I started. This time, I promised myself I would see it through. I’ve had a lot of inspiration along the way—especially from my aunt, who is (at the time of writing) wrapping up a master’s degree and scheduled to graduate next year. Watching her push forward gave me the motivator I needed.

And now, here I am: the last five months of my bachelor’s degree. We’re in Capstone season! I’m excited to collaborate with my classmates on this final project. We’ll put our knowledge, time-management skills, patience, and teamwork to the test. My overarching goal? To come away with new skills, new understanding—and maybe even a project worth taking to market. If all goes well, we might keep refining our work and see if we can push it out for consumers.

Thank you for reading! If you have questions, comments, or just want to chat, leave a note below. I’d love to hear from you.
