I’ve wanted to create a blog for sometime now but never seemed to have the time. However, I’m now mostly retired and seem to have nothing but time so now seems like the best time. I’ve spent most of my working career creating software for various industries and disciplines. I’ve also spent a fair amount of my adult life as scholar – obtaining degrees in physics (B.S., M.S (all but thesis)), meteorology (B.S.), and computer science (M.S., Ph.D.) with sufficient credits to obtain a degree in mathematics. I’ve also worked in all of these fields with varying degrees of success. The main thread in each of these topics is that software and software engineering plays a crucial role as a primary tool in aiding those topics.
When I say mostly retired, I mean that I am not actively working for anyone/company but do teach the occasional graduate course at the University of Connecticut College of Engineering in Systems Engineering. More about that in a future post. I also have small consulting business – SysInno Consulting, LLC but it’s mostly dormant and has not generated any revenue since it’s inception (I’m not very good at marketing and business development nor am I particularly motivated at this point).
In this blog, I want to capture some of the thinking and philosophy I’ve developed over the 50 odd years that I’ve worked and some insights into working. I don’t think anything here will be surprising – or maybe it will – but I feel that these are things that are worth capturing. I’ll also go into a bit about my childhood and development into where I am now because they are all very much connected.
