About me

I'm the software department manager for Siemens Building Technologies / Fire Systems in New Jersey. I have worked with open source software for something around 8 years. My technical skills include expertise in C, C++, C# and Java, Python and Ruby, Linux kernel and bootloader hacking, and other fun things of that nature.
