Of all the programming languages I know I find English to be the most challenging. I believe concise and correct naming is the hallmark of great software.

My daughter teaches me something about myself every day. Most of all she reminds me how unimaginative I had become.

I'm not very good at playing music. But I enjoy the steady progess that only comes with practice.

Electronics was my first hobby - I think I was eight when I dismantled the family's radio. I'm remain an avid maker of my own internet of things!

Gaming is my everpresent passion. Think faster and know your hotkeys. Applies equally well to software engineering.

I love reading fantasy series. I am always blown away by how alive and rich the worlds are that fantasy authors create.

I've had some of the best laughs of my life playing games with friends.

Hello and Welcome

I often talk about how fortunate I feel to have discovered the thing I truly love to do at an early age. Now more than three decades later I can say that I still love computers and writing software as much as I did at the age of 13 when I wrote my first simple programs for the Apple II. Ours is a ever growing ever changing industry and I'm delighted to be part of it.
