So I've been working on a technomancer for my next campaign and I am posting him to get an idea if you guys think he's balanced with good survivability.

This of course is just a basic workup but I am wondering with the experience some of you guys have is this a decent build. I am aware of the low Edge but in our current campaign edge hasn't been used much and building it up a couple of points would be fairly cheap at only 9 karma for level 3. My plan is to use machine sprites for the diagnostics power to help with my pistols skill should give me an average of 10 dice for pistols. My dodge is low but I'm not defaulting so I can work that up later. Our DM does the 2xCharisma contacts so I will get 10 points there and the resonance bond power will give me access to the CF I don't have yet. The rest I can use sprites for like Browse, Trace, and Decrypt. I took Analytical Mind for the +2 to software tests since threading is a software test. The codeslinger and Black Hat Paragon should make it easier for me to hack Admin level accounts on the fly with threading and registered sprites adding to the rolls. I plan on getting some charisma skills after getting my first submergence. So let me know what you think
