Hello and welcome! A bit about me, I have a formal computer science education with over a decade of professional experience in software engineering. I have extensive experience bringing SaaS products to market with many different languages, frameworks, and cloud platforms. I have experience leading engineering teams and I enjoy managing, mentoring and helping other engineers further develop their own careers. Iām an avid practitioner and advocate for agile software development practices.
Fun Fact: I wrote my first computer program on the Atari 400 using BASIC when I was a kid in the late 80s.
I love discussing all things related to computer science, math, physics, or philosophy. In particular I love musing about the impacts of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, the Singularity, and the Simulation hypothesis. Some of my heros include Alan Turing, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Carl Sagan, and Albert Einstein (who I named my cat 'Ein' after).
I also enjoy good philosophical science fiction. Philip K Dick is my favorite author who wrote 44 novels and 100+ short stories most of which I have read. Some other books, television, movies, and videogames I enjoy include Frank Herbert's Dune, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Neuromancer, Blade Runner, The Matrix, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Contact, Arrival, Ex Machina, Mr. Robot, Black Mirror, Metal Gear Solid, Half Life, Deus Ex, and more. I also love plays like Harold Pinter's No Man's Land and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
