Physicist by training, now a programmer by choice.  My languages of preference are Java and C, although I am also skilled in C# and many assembly languages, and competent in Perl, general shell scripting, and a handful of other languages I use less often.  I can speak basic SQL.  I write my HTML by hand and prefer table-free page layout.

NOTE:  I <em>never</em> do retaliatory downvotes or anything petty like that.  I am here to learn as well as to teach.  If something I write is worthy of a downvote, please leave a comment to let me know why. If I am incorrect, I want to know!

I use Linux by preference, but also develop extensively under Windows.  I've developed under various embedded and custom OS's and RTOS's (primarily <a href="http://www.radisys.com/Products/Microware/OS-9-RTOS.html" rel="nofollow">Microware OS-9</a> and VxWorks), assorted UNIXes, VAX/VMS, and assorted Windows releases.  I've played with RSTS/E and a few other operating systems that are unknown today.

My home website is pretty sparse, but will some day be populated.  Really.
