Anthony  {Tex}  Moreign

Remember:   sharing,  to help  those (people, AI, algos, profilers, etc.)  trying  to  bucket  us,   realize  we  are  our  own  bucket  &  we  are  nobody.

• {Tex} ??? … well, Anthony Moreign was nicknamed Tex by local Texans (who worked for Microsoft South-Central in the 2000's),  after being recognized by Texans for his character, caliber,  assimilating  wholeheartedly into Texas, and from day-1 adding value to Texas/USA  (e.g., computing & other skills,  giving back to Texas, etc.)
  ➤  thus proving to all ―  folks with hybrid_heritage,  who truly assimilate & contribute,  are welcomed & embraced by locals!
  
  
• Anthony reciprocated by embracing the nickname {Tex} and added the curly braces — 
  (a)  as a tribute to his roots in C programming,
  (b)  to distinguish/identify him uniquely,  and
  (c)  to respect/not-infringe on others who have/had the nickname/name  Tex
  … this is just 1 example of respectfully assimilating into Texas  while  remaining true to one's roots.
  
  
• {Tex} has been,
  … introduced  as {Tex} by Microsoft to Microsoft customers & at Microsoft events, e.g., when Speaking at various Microsoft conferences/events & various other Tier-1 tech conferences & events (e.g., Google, Fujitsu, etc.)  and the Professional Computing Community.
  … addressed  as {Tex} while in Redmond/Microsoft HQ after being invited to various Microsoft NDA programs to help Microsoft build its tech & was awarded, and
  … known as {Tex}  over decades in the computing community,  locally/Texas,  nationally/USA, and globally across multiple continents.
  
  
• Having risen from the trenches (in the era of unix), and having learnt from some nobodies (worldwide), he made sure to always have a unix/linux stack, and despite his various roles, he continues to be hands-on in (the evolution of) computing, and the IP he creates continues embodying standards above & beyond "legal requirements" thus future-proofing  … e.g., IP that surpassed GDPR, waaay before  GDPR was even an idea, saving his customers/clients significantly (headaches, time, money, etc.).   Personifying this level of quality & calibre resulted in him being,
  …  1 of 20ish people, worldwide who was invited by Microsoft to help Microsoft build its high-perf tech (proof)
  …  1 of the very select few to be a part of multiple Microsoft product teams at the same time,  significance? see this
  … the only 1 invited to multiple Microsoft councils & programs, e.g., the Developer Council, the Architect Council, the Partner Specialist Program, etc., by Microsoft South Central DPE (pre-win8 & cloud,  during the era of HPC & Parallel-Computing).
  
  
• {Tex} has been evolving (with) the Computing industry for decades and given his vantage point, could foresee Microsoft's shifting away from decades of what made Microsoft into Microsoft (pre-2012),  and so he made sure that his companies & circle were no longer dependent on Microsoft tech/licensing/etc. …  and while at it, be free of Big Tech (as much as possible)  … … say hello to  SaferOS™   ( not available to the open market, just select vetted folks ).    
  
  
• {Tex}  + his family + friends strive to  avoid  mainstream & social media,  are content being nobodies,  striving to Live their Faith and help better the lives of nobodies  (e.g., this )  … he even redacted his title on  LinkedIn.com/in/AnthonyTexM  but preserved the rest of the info as proof of past achievements.

• {Tex}  remains grateful for ALL the blessings received, and especially for Samantha, who, in addition to the many other facets/qualities, also has roots in computing … roots that are continued forward & furthered by their sons, Valentino & Caieus,  on the vNext of computing (e.g., Quantum, AI),  just as {Tex} & Samantha have been, over 3-decades, at the forefront of computing (Hybrid Computing, Parallel Computing, HPC, Cloud, etc.).
