* (*) Self-diagnosed Just a bunch of girly bytes exploring a new world in Second Life who also happens to have a fediverse account. Pronouns: she/her, \(\sqrt{-1}\) / \(\sqrt{-1}\)er. Catgirl, Kuwuntu user and webkitten. In my late 40s. Virtually a girl (and illegally lesbian) since 19/01/2007, but carrying the sin of being closeted forever. Professional daydreamer. I enjoy any interesting conversation about diversity, cats, windsurfing, boat sailing, big extensions of water, sunsets, caves and underground places, Open Source, Linux, C/C++ development/debugging/footgunning, casual game development, 8 bit retrocomputing, RC models, and (trying to) build my own stuff. Software development kink, dom, won't have mercy of the compiler or of software patterns to get what I want, and to get it now. If you're a software engineer, I can make you cry. Chaotic good with exceptions. Might have C++PTSD. I can provide emotional support texels and virtual hugs, or even hand out a spoon if you've ran out of them. Please treat me kindly, because even if only virtual, I also have a heart 💜. No questions about First Life. What happens in Second Life stays there. #nobridge #nobot.

I make things, I fix things, and quite often break things. A Silicon Valley refugee having lived in the Pacific North West, recently returned to my home, #SantaCruz after too long away.

Three decades in the world of computers and most of it developing the Internet (largely as a Web Thing, but not really).

I often put bonus content in media alt text 🖼️.

As of writing this bio in 2026, I am concerned about climate, biodiversity, and sustainability. I'm trained as a physicist, but interested in how I can help reduce humanity's impact on the planet. I work in a scientific instrument company doing holographic microscopy. I'm into free and open source software (FOSS), sociocracy, non-violent communcation (NVC), unschooling, identifying plants and animals. Currently being a dad and a husband is a big part of my life. I live in northern New Jersey.

I’m a tech founder and recovering SysAdmin. I helped found DevOps and grew up in open source. These days I am convalescing from a decade of physical and mental neglect while running Puppet.

I sometimes write about startups, founders, and other topics I like.

I am an angel investor, mostly in areas of expertise (infrastructure and dev tools) and interest (local first software and power tools).

I am generally default-accept on first conversations.

Hello there. I'm a software developer based in NYC.

I micro-blog mostly about software development in general, web app development in particular, web apis, and relational databases.

I am also interested in data visualization, AI, and CS-related topics.

I like to build simple, secure and resilient information systems to empower and connect people. I believe that this is best done with Free Software, open data standards, open protocols, and restrained craftsmanship.

I am happiest when I get to do this work with those fighting fascism, ethnic-cleaning, genocide and protecting our environment.

To make a living, I provide consulting and coaching services for software, data, and security engineering.
