However, since you took the trouble to find my one-and-only kinda-sorta updated homepage (or at least the place where all my other pseudo-homepages lead to), let me tell you a little bit about myself.
1) While I write code for a number of different computer architectures, my very favorite OS (operating system) is the Macintosh OS.
Up until March of 1997, I was working for Apple Computer; but unlike many other people working there at the time, I never wanted to get a layoff package. That was then, where I used to work for love, I now work for money. I wish Apple well and I really hope they survive ('cause perhaps I might get to return there someday).
In case a recruiter is looking at this, or if you just want to see what I do, you can click on my RESUME.
These days I am a freelance / contract programmer, juggling anywhere from one to 5 projects at a time for different employers. I sometimes get to work on site, but most of the time I work from home. It's nice to look out the window and see the city and people walking around, but it can also be quite lonely when I work by myself so often. For an anti-stereotypical programmer, in reality I'm extroverted!
2) After on and off again grad studies, I finally got kicked out of school with an actual earned Master's degree in Computer Science in 2002. On my resume, I purposely list my classes at Stanford University first (to get all the headhunters excited), but earned B+'s and A-'s were not good enough to get admitted. The school I actually finished the degree at was the grad school where I started in 1994, Wayne State University. Quite an achievement perhaps, but it was quite a long, winding, weird journey.
3) Beyond my responsibilities, I love getting away... to explore near and far (i.e. I'm a travel junkie), meeting family and friends. Speaking of friends, if you've just discovered me or my web pages, please send a message and say hello. I want to hear from cool new people, life's too short to not make new friends. Wouldn't you agree? Email and tell me who is out there looking at me.
