Welcome!

In my childhood I was a self-taught "coder", computers and technology were just a hobby interest.  I spent days, weeks, even months at a time reading books, mashing together circuits and code, then trying to convince everyone around me they should too!  I landed my first professional job as a programmer when I was a high­school freshman and I've been doing it since.

In spite of a career in technology, engineering, and analytics ... it remains a hobby interest to this day.  Truly, it is a blessing to have done something I was passionate about my entire life and blessed still to have a passion for it today.  No regrets.

Now I contribute almost exclusively to open-source projects and charity organizations, but I am always open to novel work, private equity opportunities, or to carry a noble cause to success.  I am a true polyglot and technologist, professionally coding in more than ten programming languages and personally coding in another dozen, six architectures, more than ten operating systems, and countless platforms, frameworks, libraries, toolkits/toolchains, and their many variations over the years ... if I would have any complaint it might be that on a long enough timeline all technology approaches obsolescence.
