Before that, I worked in many diverse areas, including air defense, 3D graphics driver development, network drivers, development of internet appliances, and Rock and Roll special effects.
I'm an Electrical Engineer by education, and an amateur radio operator, and my hobby activities are generally related to electronics, amateur radio, and open source software.
