Write my workplace bio!

At my office, the software development team I’m in is updating our bios. These brief descriptions of us are for use on the team’s internal web site. The bios for people who’ve been around for a while date back to 2001, so my bio (among others) is very out of date.

I figure nobody’s likely to pay too much attention to these bios, possibly not even the person who’s updating the web page. Accordingly, I want to post a humorous bio, to see who actually pays attention to it.

My creativity has been running pretty low for some time, and I can’t think of anything sufficiently interesting to put on the intranet site. So I turn to you all, the Dopers at large, to write my bio.

If this is popular enough, I’ll kick off a “Write the bio of the previous poster” thread. If we can predict each other’s deaths with such wonderful creativity, we can certainly describe each other’s lives.

So have at it! Tell my dev team all about me! I’ll edit the posts, and reply with the final version, complete with credits.

Scuba_Ben

The most valued member of our Software Development Team is Scuba_Ben. Ben has been a member of our team since (insert year here). Previously employed by Dutch Springs Development, LLC, PDQ, ASAP Incorporated, Ben has breadth of experience which cannot be described. So we won’t even try!

Startled by bright flashing lights, Ben can be counted on for his quick responses. His quick turnaround time has won him praise from all whom he supports. Just don’t poke him in the bellybutton - his eyeballs may actually pop out of his head. Don’t ask us how we know this…

It’s a dorky attempt, but I had some free time…

Scuba_Ben is an important member of our team. Sure, he does software development, but what we really like him for is his impressive ability to imitate a hypnotized penguin. His talent for holding a wide-open stare for a seemingly infinite amount of time has drawn many a hopelessly drab meeting to an early close. We are forever in his debt.
