This is my personal Web site, which contains personal and professional
information about me, technical guides on GNU/Linux and UNIX, and essays on
computing ethics and freedom.
About Me
========
I am:
* A hacker (that is, a playful tinkerer interested in exploring the limits of
technology).
* A knowledgeable user of GNU/Linux.
* A competent software author.
* A fan of freely- and semi-freely-licensed heavy metal and rock music.
* A student in the [2012 Google Summer of Code][gsoc-2012] program [working
with the Debian Project][gsoc-appl].
* The leader of a project to develop a fully-free [embedded operating system
distribution][proteanos].
* [Associate member][fsf-am] #10830 of the Free Software Foundation.
* A recent university graduate with a degree in computer science.
* A self-taught student of U.S. and international copyright law and free
software licensing.
* The former leader of my university's undergraduate GNU/Linux special
interest group.
* Trained in karate.
* Licensed to operate motorboats.
* Certified for open water SCUBA diving.

contracts](talks/software-contracts/).
* [A workshop on the UNIX shell](guides/shell-workshop/) I gave at NJIT.
To Come
=======
* More essays on computing ethics and freedom.
* Technical guides on GNU/Linux, especially one related to the boot process
(an apparently popular topic with which I'm quite familiar).
