I'm a systems administrator and developer with extensive experience in various computing environments. My systems experience has reached something of a zenith after decades in the field. Currently focused on Python and cross-platform hardware development solutions.

My computing journey began at age 6 with a Commodore 64, later progressing to more advanced systems:

• AT&T System 75 - A private branch exchange (PBX) telecommunications system from the 1980s, representing early enterprise telephony infrastructure with its own command structure and programming capabilities
• AT&T UNIX Systems - Worked with various AT&T UNIX versions, including UNIX System V, one of the foundational commercial UNIX implementations that influenced many later operating systems
• Solaris - Sun Microsystems' UNIX-based operating system known for its reliability and scalability in enterprise environments
• SPARC Architecture - Gained experience with Sun's RISC-based SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) hardware platform that powered many Solaris systems

This diverse experience across multiple generations of technology has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of computing systems evolution, from legacy to modern architectures.

• Systems administration and management
• Python development
• Cross-platform hardware development
• Android development
• Legacy and modern system integration

Most of my current projects are private, involving Android and cross-platform development. My work typically focuses on creating versatile solutions that bridge different technologies and platforms.

• Python programming and tooling
• Cross-platform hardware development
• System integration and optimization
• Security and authentication systems
• Contributing to technological advancement that benefits the USA and allies

When I'm not working with computers and hardware, I enjoy:

• Chess - strategic thinking that complements my technical work
• Kayaking - exploring waterways and enjoying nature
• Fishing - patience and precision in a natural setting
• Beach days - appreciating the outdoors and natural environment
• Solving complex technical challenges
