What's in a Name

 A friend recently posted on social media the meaning of their name, which I thought was interesting. So I deciphered mine and came up with this:

Cheers,

Wade

PS. Here's some water, since I also like taking pictures. 😊

And I don't think you truly understand a role until you have been submersed in it for a few years. When I started my career there were around 150 people working at Wolfspeed (then Cree Research). I started as a programmer, working on a shrink wrapped software application that controlled LED message signs. In my role, I worked on other software projects and was even involved in building an eight foot full color LED video screen. Very cool! Over the next twenty odd years, I have held many different roles and created some amazing things at Wolfspeed. I created the company's first public web page and also their first internal web portal.
