About Me

I have experience in qualitative and quantitative social research, education, creating written materials (both fiction and non-fiction), medical imaging (both X-ray and Nuclear Medicine), the military, web design, and programming experience in multiple languages, having self-taught myself what I know. I have been a frequent presenter and panelist at both literary and academic conventions, and have professionally formatted and published books in print and electronic formats.

Why I code

I am very motivated by “Hey, that program doesn’t work the way I want it to! Let’s bend it to my will!” While my code isn’t always optimized, I’ve worked pretty hard to make it:

A learning experience for me that fixes a problem/need I have.
Easy to figure out how it works
Resistant to bitrot ( shakes fist at all the abandoned python2 programs )
Able for someone else to come along and fix any bitrot that happens if I’m not able or around to do it myself.

That’s led to a lot of these being in BASH. There’s some BASHisms throughout, so they’re not exactly POSIX-compliant, but hopefully they’re close enough that someone who is better at such than I can easily tweak them.
