  What began as a summer job running errands and doing odd jobs for the scoring and timing crew at the U.S. Open tennis tournament quickly morphed into something more after I taught myself to program. My primary function at this job was writing, maintaining, and supporting the Chair Umpire tennis scoring program (or Chump for short), which was used to score all the matches at the tournament, power the on-court scoreboards, and feed live results into the rest of the scoring system.
