I'm a curious software engineer with 24 years of industry experience in full-stack development. My roles have included CTO and Senior Software Developer. I'm currently working in the Fintech industry.
For the curious, here is the tech I use.
I've published articles and poetry. My independent research is up at Academia.edu.
I'm also a technical reviewer for publishers.
I'm more or less interested in every living creature, but over the years birds and moths have particularly caught my imagination. I earnestly collect data for various citizens cience projects, such as iNaturalist (I've recently posted my 30,000th observation).
In 2023, I documented 703 research-grade iNaturalist Arthropod species in Essex County, Ontario. Check out the CBC radio interview and the data I gathered.
I'm an avid reader and you can find me on Goodreads. I'm also collected a number of quotes from my reading.
My wildlife photography has been used by various sources, such as Smithsonian Magazine, Ontario Nature, Maryland DNR, and Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies,
