I'm builder, problem-solver, and knowledge-sharer. I have over 20 years of experience in the Software Development industry and specialize in full-stack software development.
For the curious, you can see what tech I use.
I've published articles and poetry. As an independent researcher, I'm in the top 2% of accounts at Academia.edu.
I've also done technical reviews for numerous publishers.
I'm an enthusiastic data gatherer in the citizen science community. I'm more or less interested in every living creature, but over the years, birds and moths in particular have captured my imagination.
I've recently posted my 26,000th iNaturalist observation. In Essex County, Ontario I have nearly 3X more observations than the next highest observer.
In 2023, I'm trying to document 1,500 research-grade iNaturalist observations of Arthropod species in Essex County, Ontario.
CBC Afternoon Drive host Allison Devereaux interviewed me about this effort.
