Hello Internet Users! Thanks for stopping by my site and this page in particular!
My name is Paige Julianne, and I’m a single-by-choice mid-40s senior software engineer and entrepreneur residing in the Research Triangle/Raleigh-Durham region of North Carolina.
I am a post-operative male-to-female transgender woman. My gender dysphoria took hold of me around the age of three and lasted until I had bottom surgery on May 14, 2024 – my “rebirthday.” Medically speaking, I was intersex, as I had “left-over” fallopian tubes and a rudimentary uterus due to a condition called Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) and even had a few periods! However, I stopped (and reverted to a small extent) my transition in 2008 and 2010 to father my two brilliant daughters.
At the age of nine, I started tinkering with my brother’s Tomy Tutor, but having only one game (HyperSpace) got very dull quickly, so I read the manual and started writing programs in BASIC. At 11, I received my first real PC and continued to program in QuickBASIC. I purchased a 2400 baud modem to call local Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) the following year. Within two years, I had an Internet email address and a website on GeoCities. In 1996, I received my first contract to build a commercial website powered by ASP/VBScript and Access on the backend. In 1999, I picked up PHP and have been running with it ever since.
I am employed full-time with the Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium (METRC) based at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Since August 2020, I have managed our custom installation of the REDCap system used for recording and reporting data for our various clinical studies. This includes the direct administration of three Red Hat Enterprise Linux Servers. I have also launched my own company, Concert Telecommunications, to provide various telecommunications, including voice, video, fax, messaging, and data services, to companies under a single roof.
