Ask HN: I am a founder and a felon, what next?

I went to a good school, comp eng/cyber security major, started early. Got a DoD clearance, worked as a data analyst in a research lab. Ended up hooked to heroin and got involved with onion marketplaces. Long story short, felonies. I threatened someone else involved in a drug sale and went to prison. I continued my studies. A lot. Became a math tutor for those who needed it. Ended up getting a good job a few weeks out, hired on the spot. I can code and I know it. I help lead a team doing some pretty cool work on isomorphic apps. I have some potential job offers in NYC that could be quite promising. I also have multiple projects that I develop in my own time, some that even have customers. As I look toward the future, I want to be candid about this, honesty is the best policy. I also do not want to shoot myself in the foot when filling out YC apps and other grants. I am currently succeeding in the software industry. Do I still have so friggin' much to learn? Yes. But I have been sober for 5 years now, am still in my 20s and haven't looked back. I made amends to all those wronged and am doing what I love. Any sage advice going forward? Thanks!
