Hello, I'm a programmer and data engineer from Iowa, USA with a background in transportation logistics and agriculture. I specialize in enterprise-scale geospatial analysis solutions. In my 30+ year career I've done desktop applications, web sites, embedded development, vehicular/mobility integration, industrial telematics, mobile development, healthcare telemetry and devops/platform engineering. Mostly these days I do Python and Golang with a bit of JavaScript and rust for fun. I'm a Linux user since 1994 and FOSS advocate.
I've been on the fediverse since October of 2022 but have recently changed instances due to my previous instance's imminent closure. For fun I like to cook and do amateur woodworking, and play PC games. I'm politically left of center. I believe in freedom and respect for all people. I do not believe in religious wars: Star Wars AND Star Trek are both great, vi AND emacs are both terrible. (Neovim is my IDE, and I'm sorry.)
Thanks to hachyderm.io for having me
@Samthurston But what are your feelings on Star*gate*? Hi from Kansas!
@AngelaPreston as long as we can all agree that Atlantis didn't happen I'm on board.
@Samthurston I view Atlantis much like I view subsequent Highlander movies or the last season of Babylon 5. Kinda like fanfiction that is just a little too far from canon.
@Samthurston hi from Omaha!
