Work:

Professionally, I've been employed as a security engineer, systems administrator, release engineer, programmer, technical manager, and as a consultant for international Internet, pre-press, security, supply-chain, banking, advertising, fashion, and many other kinds of companies. My areas of expertise are in systems management, internet applications and workflow systems, including Workstations, Servers, Networks, Web programming, API middleware, and a lot of "etc.".

My professional interests have varied over the years, a short chronological list of things I've done for work as I "picked them up" looks like this:

• Programming (I started on a TRS-80, then an Osborne, then the 68K family, then x86, etc.)

• Conventional (or at least, it was, for the time) Graphic Arts

• Fashion Design

• Embroidery and Screenprinting

• Electronic Graphic Arts

• Database design

• User Interfaces

• LAN technologies

• Pre-press and print technologies

• *nix and other high-speed computing LAN technologies

• WAN/Web technologies

• Directories (LDAP, X.500, etc.)

• i18n

• Enterprise scaling and redundancy

• Code optimization and quality

• Global workflow and systems scaling

• DevOps pipelines and source-to-production chains

• SecOps and security wrangling

Hobbies:

As a musician, I've been in a number of bands over the years, (including Blame Aphroditie, Paperhouse, BraverSchiziodPeople, Death By Clawhammer, Angel's Accrual, etc. ) but my last (semi-paid) work was mostly with Not Breathing, a band on the Invisible records label.

As a F/OSS advocate, I have code, documentation, and other contributions to the PHP, AMaVis, and PostgreSQL projects, and have been part of more technical and social groups than I can remember (I'm pretty sure that's google's job, not mine.)

Play:

For fun I read technical manuals and trade magazines, the occasional odd book on hermeneutics, ontology, and other topics that have big obscure words to describe them.
