I'm here for old computers, radios, and cool nerdery.

I identify with #Unix #Linux #HamRadio #retrocomputing and #making.

Professionally I am a computer scientist, now primarily an educator of college students. I am a #SystemsProgrammer with deep experience in #networking, #EmbeddedSystems, and #OperatingSystems. I have also worked in #security from time to time.

The operating system you're using has code written by people who were consulting documents that I co-authored to get it right.
