About

First, thank you for visiting my website.

Some things about me

I have been online since the 1990s. Every day, I dialed up a Sportster® Voice 33.6 Faxmodem. My first experience with Linux was RedHat 5.2 (Apollo). In the early 2000s, I also wanted to have a cool looking laptop, so bought an iBook G3 (PowerPC) because I could run Mac OS X. Wrote a lot of Perl 5.4 until I stumbled into Python 2.4.

I have created some, and improved many, software systems. Got things done with many other languages, frameworks, databases, and proprietary technologies. I have formed part of small, medium and large organizations (including Microsoft and Amazon). Been hired as a system administrator, software tester, backend, frontend developer, devops, and systems development engineer.

Today, I run OpenBSD and still building software tools with Python (and Go).

I have a deep interest in quality, the Unix philosophy, and The Web.
