About me

edit

I've been an editor on Wikipedia for a long time (coming up on nineteen years as of 2021). For the majority of those years now I've also been an administrator. I'm mostly interested in anything having to do with science, including but not limited to, evolution, encryption, astronomy, science fiction, SETI, and computer programming. Professionally, I'm a software engineer. I'm also interested in politics, mostly because of the negative influence on science it's been having lately. I am an unabashed naturalist. I also contribute on Meta and Commons.
