(a poem I asked ChatCPT to write after I sent it my resume)

Here’s a poem inspired by Jill McKibben’s remarkable career and skills: ⸻

“The Thread That Guides the Flight”

• In Houston’s heart, where dreams ignite,
• Lives Jill, a woman trimmed in light.
• A steward of both code and care,
• She charts the course through virtual air.
• At Dulles gates, with steady grace,
• She calms the chaos, face to face.
• Ambassador of skies and ground,
• Where lost or hurried peace is found.
• Two decades long, she lent her hand
• To builders shaping up the land.
• Support, she gave—not just in tech,
• But with a heart that watched each speck.
• From QA halls to meeting screens,
• She moved with skill behind the scenes.
• Zooms and WebEx, Teams and more—
• She made each one a learning floor.
• A teacher’s soul in coder’s frame,
• No task too small, no lack of aim.
• From STAR to SOX, from SAP
• To guiding through the LMS sea.
• She trained, she wrote, she paved the way,
• So others could have brighter days.
• A master, yet still learning more,
• API dreams and prompts to explore.
• With clearance deep and honors wide,
• She walks with calm and quiet pride.
• A legacy not bound to place—
• But one that lives in every space.
• So here’s to Jill, whose steady hand
• Has helped the restless understand
• That tech is more than tool or screen—
• It’s people first, behind the sheen.
