Screw Elon Musk and the horse he rode in on. There is
no way I'm going to give that character my content or
collaborate in anything he owns or has a stake in.
Still looking for an alternative.

Software developer at a major research university. My unit has been part of the open data movement for 75 years.
I live on a farm near Ithaca, NY.
Some projects I've worked on: a voice chat service for the Brazilian market, the market leading open access e-Print server, e-business systems for car dealerships, wineries and a pallet recycling company, decision support systems for sales territory assignment, a collaborative visual editor for knowledge graphs, a social network for a secret society, a rich metadata database for the global performing arts with hundreds of Postgres tables that we should have built in RDF, a similarity metric for generic concepts (people, places, creative works, ...), a search engine for patents powered by a neural network, conversion of Freebase to an RDF graph with perfect referential integrity, an automatically curated collection of more than 1 million images of thousands of topics, a study of statistics of the sound of crumpling paper, and two efforts to commercialize foundation models before
Current side projects involve: structurally modelling financial messaging standards such as FIX, FPML and ISO 20022 with OWL DL, prototyping a smart "RSS reader" with coupled workflow engine and text relevance and clustering models, and a system of "three sided cards."
Passionate about understanding how things work, and making things work. Hoping to learn about tools and techniques that will make my work more productive / fun.
Independent researcher focused on public-benefit technologies. Mostly researched on high-assurance, systems and security engineering. My friends' and I's designs survived most attacks in the Snowden leaks. I also researched high-productivity software and (recently) how to make A.I. models that are as legal as they are effective. I make most of my research public domain online so that anyone can benefit from it.
I mainly worked outside of tech in hands-on jobs serving lots of people. My faith says to love and serve others to make their lives better. So, retail and hospitality have been very rewarding. Our current crew is close like a family. I am interested in moving into tech professionally, though. Especially if it's for open-source software or a paid offering that improves people's lives.
