I had my second orientation today at the Northrop Grumman, Atlanta site. My first was as a contractor (two years ago) and today as a direct employee. It’s amazing that about two years ago, I didn’t know anything about Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, nor the mega-defense contractor, Northrop Grumman – and today, I’ve joined the NGC family in their Inforamtion Systems sector. It was a long grueling day of paperwork, presentations, etc – but in the end, I think things are looking up for my career, as a self-taught web developer, and my family.

Now For a History Lesson

It started almost three years ago, when we moved from South Florida to Fairburn, Georgia. I had my opportunity to run my web development company full time. It was an interesting time (very scary), but we were doing ok for ourselves. My second child was born (Leeanne) and I couldn’t complete my projects – so I had to look for work. I did some contracting jobs and ended up being picked up by a company in California for a web development position w ith NGC. I had no idea who the players were, but I did know web development. I took the job and started working with CDC. As time went by and I started to understand the government culture, I realized how lucky fortunate, I’ve been to be placed with these organizations.

Northrop is a very big company and they look like their here to stay. I’m excited to see where this road will lead.
