On this site I publish articles on technical topics around systems administration (devops), being a dad/concerned citizen, and other miscellaneous topics. This site also has other publications, including a draft memoir based on genetic genealogy of my patrilineal Y-DNA. This has been a hobby for the past 10+ years, and the findings are of interest to those who share my dna.
Experience and Interests
Based in Southeast Asia since 2008, over the past 10 years I've worked on publishing projects focused on English-speaking markets. I'm a supporter of open source software and open content publishing. 24 years of network engineering and technical web; 10 years of publishing; 7 years of university teaching. My interests over the next decade or so include educational psychology, education software, and machine learning. This is essentially where the so-called learning sciences doubles back on itself to merge back into the original attempt at artificial intelligence. I have two small children so early childhood development and education is of great interest, though all my roles as an educator have been at the university level.
