Fun History:
My first lifetime was spent in San Diego California, USA, attending UCSD and National University and collecting a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science, writing various kinds of software including educational, language translation, tax preparation, and video/photo editing, as well as raising 2 children and a cat, and publishing a computer graphics book.
I am now enjoying my second lifetime with my wife at home with the eagles and owls in the forests at the top of Washington State. I am busy writing my own software and books, composing music, making music videos, photographing wildlife, home-roasting my own coffee, traveling and exploring, and still learning and creating new things every day.
Work History:
Software engineer (Mac/iPhone, C/C++/Objective-C), with a primary interest in audio, graphics, puzzles. I love writing software that can help anyone design their own graphics and puzzles and books, and utilities to help programmers be more productive, and educational/discovery software for everyone.
I worked on reading and math educational software for schools, Superman activity center games, Intuit's TurboTax, GoPro video editing software, and natural language translation software.
