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
For a more comprehensive (if boring) flat listing of my legacy historical work, I used to maintain my hardware and software lists.

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.
