Oh, Billy!

Hello, World!

I am
a human.

I am William
{Billy} Romano III,
a human

I know, I know, it’s a bummer, right? While I may not have the processing power of a supercomputer or the ability to self-assemble, I can still make some pretty amazing things. Think of me as a more relatable version of Johnny #5 – less “input, output,” more “inspiration, creation.”

Whether I’m battling Ganon in Hyrule, channeling my inner John McClane during home renovations, or cruising in my Cadillac, life’s all about shared experiences and making memories with my family. I’m a bit of a MacGyver when it comes to DIY, a total Ferris Bueller when it comes to enjoying life, and a firm believer in his philosophy: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

From weekend camping trips that would make Clark Griswold proud to lakeside strolls in downtown Port Huron or a gaming night, I cherish the simple moments.

I’m passionate about technology, travel, and all things ’80s and ’90s. I believe in continuous learning and improvement, both personally and professionally. And like any good ’80s hero, I’m always ready to take on the next adventure!

My career so far…

… or, how I managed to stay employed despite my best efforts. [ followed by a thoughtful pause and a sip of ☕️ ] Let’s just say I’ve dabbled in a few different fields. Some might call it a lack of focus. I prefer to think of it as a broad range of interests. Either way, it’s been a colorful journey.
