I used to write application software on Mainframe, After Y2K Project I moved to Mainframe hardware/system software area until now.
My second laptop was an HP nx8220. It had a problem reading higher capacity SD cards. I got help from an HP forum and I wanted to give back and so I joined this community in 2009.
I come to the HP Support Forums to learn and to help others get more from their investment in HP products.
I like to solve notebook problems. However, I find myself in the printer boards more and more.
I'm also an active member and moderator of a Vietnamese forum. I normally contribute to 2 sections: laptops and photography. Most likely I will be a retiree in 2016.

I enjoy solving puzzles and problems and found volunteering here at the HP community to be very satisfying. I intend to continue my participation and contribute as long as I can.
My username is BeemerBiker although I gave up my R1100rt motorcycle a few years ago after putting over 80,000 miles on it.
I have a background in Physics, Computer science and System Design. I built my first system, Xitan Z80 back in ‘77. After receiving my masters in CS, I was hired by a local research institute and started using the HP-85 with HPIB pen plotters. My first personal system was a used ‘82 Compaq portable, and I added the ‘84 HP LaserJet later. I retired in 2009 as a Principal Analyst with a background in Dos, Windows, and Linux.

In my past Iife I was a project manager at Hewlett Packard responsible for printer/cartridge system interaction for integrated printhead systems. I designed some of the technology that goes into inkjet printers and have five patents. I retired in October 2005 after 29+ years at HP.

I am retired; I have the choice to do the things that bring me joy and satisfaction. Serving as an Expert on the HP Forum provides a way to give back to our community.
After earning a college degree in a completely unrelated area, I landed in a new field: computers. I was privileged to work in a tough field with some wonderful people at a great time in high-tech history. I have a great deal of respect for anyone who is brave enough to challenge the technology field today.
I have always worked with HP products and dedicate a fair amount of my time to the HP Support Forum because being a volunteer expert is a natural extension of my IT craft.
I am ever at my best when I am helping someone. I believe that is true for all of us.
Hello everyone,
I am a systems engineer, I have been using computers since I can remember, enchanted by the geek world, dedicated to telecommunications and computer security, Underc0der at heart and I am proud to belong to the HP community.

Born in SP Capital, 44 years old, proud resident of the North Zone of Sao Paulo.
My first contact with HP products was when I started at Sitel Brazil (HP Commercial Account), I provided Front Line support for the PSG team on Desktop, Notebooks, Ipa's products. Then within Sitel itself, I had the opportunity to start providing support to the CE Assistance team, where we handled support directly with field technicians.
In 2010, the area was migrated to HP and today I can say that I provide service to the entire HP commercial line of IPG/PSG/GSB (or PL30).
I graduated in Computer Networks
My participation in the forum began in 12/2011, and since then I have participated almost daily, and I am proud to have helped several experts and the pleasure of meeting many people personally with whom I am friends. And it was also cool to have the opportunity to participate in the Summit in 2013, where we met the best of the world.
Whenever possible, I keep an eye on new posts, and try to find the best alternative. In addition to contacting the moderation team in case of doubts, which helps me a great deal.
I have been a computer user since I had a Commodore 64 computer in my hands, which at that time had the fabulous amount of 64 Kb of RAM.
These computers used a cassette system to record the programs, which had to be encoded perfectly because recording the program on the cassette could take from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Later came PCs with Windows 3.0, then Windows 95, and all Windows systems.
I began to participate in the HP Business communities around 2008, and later the HP Forum was opened in 2009 and that was when I fully entered helping in the HP Forum.
In 2012 I was recognized as an Expert and subsequently I was at the event organized by HP in San Francisco in 2012 and at the HP Meet Up event in 2015!
I continue participating because it is interesting to learn about the technology of HP printers and it also allows me to stay updated on Windows systems.
Regards,

I studied Computer Systems Engineering, in 2016 I obtained some certifications from Google, UAM (Autonomous University of Madrid), MITx (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and UPV (Universitat Politècnica de València).
Some time ago I helped in a computer center as a volunteer, maintaining the equipment and on some occasions repairing it. I came to this forum some time ago with the sole purpose and vision of helping more users and learning from others since being in the forum is dedicating the most important thing in our lives, which is time.
I had the opportunity to use a computer with Windows XP service pack 3 with 512 Mb of ram and 20 Gb of hard drive, then I started using the most recent versions of Windows; I have also used some Linux and MacOS distributions to learn a little more about the system and obtain knowledge about free software.
In my free time I play fast soccer, I read a lot about different topics, however, I spend a few minutes playing online games, apart from this I like to learn about new technologies, programs, etc.
I am pleased to be the first and only youngest expert in the HP forums to be a three-time consecutive winner of the annual top member award in the HP communities. All of this is not important, the important thing is that I have an excellent very well-prepared team of friends here.
Regards!

I am an attorney. I handle litigation throughout the US for insurance companies so I travel a fair amount and depend on my computer to keep me connected and productive. As my firm grew so did our computing needs. I ended up becoming my own IT department. I also had a hobby business for a while buying, refurbishing and selling laptops on eBay back before they were readily available to the public.
I simply enjoy solving people's problems and empathize with the unique frustration caused when a computer won't do what it is supposed to do.

I have had an interest in computers since I was a kid and mainly learnt from the experience of dismantling and rebuilding the computers I owned. Later studied a lot on my own and finally for the last year, I am the owner of a small computer repair shop here in Italy. Great place to be for my other passion, the Sea. The last few years I have been running a non-profit organization that deals with sea-litter and the cleaning of the seabed.
Came to the forum to get help and started helping others. I enjoy solving problems for other members. There is an amazing amount of knowledge in this forum and I am still learning every day from the answers provided by other members.

I began using computers in 1984. It was an Apple MacIntosh 128K. Needless to say, it was not a barn burner. Shortly after beginning to use computers I decided to begin learning all that I could about diagnosing problems. I knew this would save me a lot of frustration. I came to the HP Forums in 2002. I had just purchased my first HP computer and had a problem that I couldn't solve; even with all of that diagnostic training. I had my problem solved very quickly and decided to start helping members myself. I have been helping on the forums since that time.

I served in the United States Coast Guard for 20 years in a variety of command and staff assignments. After retiring from the U. S. Coast Guard, I worked for the American Red Cross in human resources and financial management positions for 16 years. I have also retired from employment with the American Red Cross.
I have learned a great deal from our other forum members, and this helps me to help others.
I particularly enjoy solving problems related to hardware drivers -- especially in the situations where forum members upgrade or downgrade their Windows operating systems, and there are no drivers on the PC's support and driver page for the operating system they changed to.

"My 9-5 is supporting HP Enterprise printing products with an HP Service Delivery Partner. My areas of specialty are Laserjet, Designjet and Pagewide. 20+ years of supporting HP products means I have a large storehouse of knowledge not only on the product, but where to find information." Taking a break from technology means picking up a book, picking up a guitar or going outdoors and taking pictures of nature.

I enter the community asking questions about my equipment and then I am encouraged to help others. A gratifying experience.
My beginnings and interest in computing date back to the 1980s, graduating in Statistics, where I studied 2 subjects that marked my future professional development, FORTAN and COBOL programming.
Study on your own different programming languages oriented to website programming (Perl, PHP, ASP). Currently I oversee customer technical support and administration of servers based on Windows and Linux operating systems in a Hosting company.

Fell in love with HP laptops when I was still in grade school in Chicago and discovered the joy of wreaking havoc on my dad's "oldish" Omnibook XE3. They just don't make them like they used to anymore.... Returned to Europe for my Undergraduate studies. Put myself through school by working at a Marketing Research and Enterprise Survey company in its IT department, mostly doing computer support "grunt work", but learning a lot about malfunctions and issues in modern Windows systems.
Although today I'm finishing my postgraduate studies in Health Sciences, I still like to keep up with the latest in PC hardware, and to participate in communities and forums helping other users deal with problems on their laptops.

I have been in the IT business since 2002. My interest in printers started in 2004, and my first HP printer certification was achieved in 2005. Constantly in following years started to work and learn more and more about printers.
This forum and forum members are a source of amazing knowledge and solutions so I started to help others as much as I could.
The great feeling of helping someone unknown with a few minutes of my time in their search for assistance in printers.
From Croatia with love.
