Who I Am
While this site exists largely so I have a place to hang my résumé online, it is under construction, as they say.
And now, something in the way of a biographical statement:
I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and currently reside in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A., with my wife of 20 years and our two rescue cats.
Professionally, I work across Linux administration, automation, and open source database administration. I am also a polyglot developer. Some of the code I have written can be viewed on my GitHub page.
I am a writer and photographer by avocation. I am interested in environmental portraiture and visual anthropology.
I am also a student of Spanish. While I am very much a beginner, I do know how to swear a bit.
I have had a life-long interest in the martial arts. I currently train in Libre Fighting at the apprentice level.
