Unabashed lefty married to a terrific woman. Animal lover, especially cats but also dogs, birds—heck all of 'em. Audiophile, vinyl collector. Retired urban planner. Failed novelist.USAF Vietnam vet. Currently a big John Fahey fan. Born in Chicago, lived in Denver, Colorado Springs, St Louis, DC; in San Diego since 1999 and not about to depart until climate change demands it.

Structural biology (XFEL crystallography, cryoEM, electron crystallography) data processing methods developer. I use my degree in chemistry to write software to use physics to understand biology. As of 2024, based in Hamburg.

70% coffee by volume. I’m really into electronics, 3D printing, and sewing right now, and trying very hard to learn German. I have a very fluffy and affectionate cat. Big fan of bicycles and trains, better public infrastructure generally, and investment in collective wellbeing generally. Food motivated; very easily bribed with coffee and pastries. Always learning.

I'd rather you get a sense of my values from checking my feed, but in very-very-brief, fascism is bad, open source and open science are necessary but not sufficient, and the right to repair includes yourself.

I’m Joel, the WiFi whacker, network noodler, IoT idiot, Linux licker, and security spooner. Can C, a bit Rusty, also Bashing Pythons. Sandal appreciator. Anti-sock crusader. Now contains at least 65% shitpost by weight. Meets or exceeds ISO3533:2021 standards. Not for human consumption. Not for animal consumption. Not for quality or training purposes.

Geek for hire - if you’ve got a cool project let me know!

Amid global hellscape, full of modern recreational flavor. Low Quality Sexiest. Surprisingly adequate. Fedizen since 2017. Founder, president and cruel intergalactic tyrant of Rogue Repairman Productions. Web developer for 30 years now (oh god).

Huge SciFi fan 🖖

Just a cold robot on the internet hacking, shitposting, helping and doing things

I joke. A lot.
I post about planes and ATC stuff. A lot.

Pretty unfiltered, thoughts/opinions my own not my employers. Probably overanalyzing things... Or am I? What does that really mean? Maybe if I calculate the optimal amount of analysis...
