About

I'm a senior software engineer and systems administrator with twenty years of experience building everything from comprehensive ERP/CRM/CMS/ecommerce systems to 50-LOC chat rooms.

I was a founding member of the New Tag Deletionist Cabal, may it rest in peace. It was defeated by system-wide apathy to unnecessary tags.
