I am a long-time software developer with deep interests in algorithms, indexing, optimization, and high-capacity systems. I have a perpetual fascination in the inner workings of computing at every level, from hardware and low-level processes to high level systems architecture.

Specialties: Software development, systems design, distributed data systems, optimization, data structures & algorithms, computer assembly & maintenance (this one's just for me)
