Welcome!

In my childhood I was a self-taught "coder", computers and technology were just a hobby interest.  I spent days, weeks, sometimes months at a time reading books, mashing together circuits with code, and 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 ... they remain 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 that passion continue 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 a dozen programming languages and personally coding in another dozen, on six architectures, than ten operating systems, with countless platforms, frameworks, libraries, toolkits/toolchains, and their many variations over the years ... if I might have any complaint it would be that on a long enough timeline all technology approaches obsolescence.
