To the left is a recent picture of me at my sister's wedding. I used to look far more technical before that, having the requisite funny beard and pitchfork. And yes, I do have a scythe.
I'm a 38 year-old hominid known to inhabit Westford, Massachusetts. I was born in Athens, Greece of American parents, and grew up (mainly) in Saugerties, New York. I am a 1991 graduate of Harvard College, with a degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics. I am a member of the American Philatelic Society, the American Topical Association, the United States Chess Federation, the Massachusetts Chess Association, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the American Homebrewers Association, the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the ACM, the OASIS ODF TC (Co-Chair), the OASIS ODF Adoption TC, INCITS V1 and a trained SkyWarn weather spotter. I work for IBM, as a performance architect, as well as on various ODF technical topics. In my free time I grow and eat berries. A lot of them.
