Unique Skill(s)
Cameron thinks he is a “Computer Whisperer”; by just listening to a computer, he is able to identify problems existing in computer hardware and software (not really, but he’s pretty good at diagnosing and fixing computer-related issues). He loves ice skating in his hometown (when it’s cold enough and thick layers of ice have formed in nearby lakes and ponds) and building custom computers for gaming and cryptocurrency mining (one day he’ll be paying for his electricity and gaming habits via cryptocurrency—just you wait and see).
Fun Facts
Cameron once built a Linux Cluster with the help of his brother-in-law. This endeavor involved a lot of learning experiences that inspired him to seek work related to building and maintaining large computer networks.
