Wendy's Story

Graduated from California State University, Northridge (Los Angeles). Earned a degree in Computer Engineering. Remained living in Burbank/Los Angeles for over 20 years. Absolutely loved it!!!!!. I had so much fun living in Burbank/LA! Everyday was like a vacation. In 2006 accepted a job in Silicon Valley. I now live along the delta that flows into the San Francisco Bay. I spent over 10 years involved in the design of U.S. Military bases, located globally, which included submarine nuclear bases and bases located in Guam and Cuba. I was utilizing the internet close to a decade before the public became aware of it. Immediately following my exciting Engineering Corps career, I spent many years designing Metro LA subways, light rail transit, and similar projects in Los Angeles. I was at the forefront of revolutionizing Android devices. Over 10 years as an innovation Lab Engineer within the High-Tech industry working on RTOS and Android devices, long before Android came upon the market. I have many tantalizing stories regarding the development of most of the features we all enjoy on our devices today. Living in Los Angeles and San Francisco, has lead me to experience many diverse people and cultures. This has made my life fun and adventurous. Embracing other cultures I found inspiring. While living in LA, I was exposed and invited to partake in many of the "Hollywood" type activities, (Animation and the movie industry), which is the norm in Burbank. All so fun to experience! I became the voice for a cartoon character. The show; The Goddamn George Liquor Program. I played the part of a 10 year old, very bubbly girl. The creator, John Kricfalusi, also created the...Expand for more
Ren and Stimpy show and many others. I also was an "extra" on several IFC movies. So fun! As well as I was involved painting background on animation cells for Garfield and Simpsons commercials. It was interesting. I got to experience many earthquakes. Weeeee. I was living near the epic center of the great Northridge earthquake in 1994. Northridge is at the west end of the San Fernando Valley (SFV), whereas, I lived and was awaken by the earthquake (at 4am) while living in Burbank, which is in the east end of the SFV. I was the first to arrive at the Red Cross office to help others that morning. I drove in the pure darkness, not able to see the rubble created from the earthquake. Hours later when I drove home, I was surprised I made it to the Red cross office without driving into a sink hole (all lights/power were down. The city was in a black-out after the earthquake). So that was exciting, except for the heavy traffic jams afterwards, due to that many freeways were destroyed. Living in LA was a fantastic experience. Everyday some thing new to discover. As I mentioned above, I now live near San Francisco (SF). I have a beautiful home, and ohhh, I also have my own private swimming pool as well. Weee. I love the water! I use to accept all who would invite me, to go to Kingsmen to swim (I think that was what the place was called. The commonwealth pool). Grade 10 PE introduced me to swimming and I immediately took to it. Anyway I LOVE my pool! Weee and its only a few steps away how cool is that! Now if I could just get a ski hill next door. That would be perfect. Weee. All my classmates are Welcome! Plan your next vacation in California and laying around my pool.
