Welcome
This is my little corner of the web. I'm a software developer working for the Infrared Space Archive at Caltech in DevOps. Mostly, though, I'm a very busy husband and father.
I've placed some notes here about my work and some other stuff that you may find useful.
I'm a Unix guy, working mostly in C++ and Python. I do love to code. I also find I'm most useful to early stage start-ups where you can get your hands dirty in all manner of things!
