I love writing—to express intent via text. If the intent of our writings is not clear, we have failed as authors. I write software and literature (short stories.) Software, like literature, is the written expression of ideas. In this way, software is literature. Great literature exhibits excellence of form, easy to understand, expressive, and efficient in its delivery.I am a published (book, newsletter) and (IBM) patent-holding principal/architect level software engineer dedicated to writing minimal, pragmatic, and testable software that conveys intent. I develop high-volume, low-latency middle-ware, including but not exclusive to massively parallel, multi-threaded, multi-core (CPU, GPU) enterprise systems. I leverage micro and event streaming services using event-driven design and a mix of functional and object-oriented principles and practices.I am a disciple of complex system theories and systems inspired by nature—cybernetics (wetware.) I actively share these concepts through my monthly newsletters and my group bio-cybernetics (see "join my group" above.)I am a former (US. ARMY) sergeant and member of the (NRAS) Nuclear Release and Authentication System—the system used to authorize the release of nuclear weapons; held Top-Secret security clearance—clearable.
