About Me
- Name: john
- Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
I am owned by 3 daughters, 1 dog, 2 cats, and my lovely wife. I've been programming professionally for 16+ years; my current employer is Applied Signal Technology. Previously, I developed multi-touch interactive GIS and DB driven systems for critical infrastructure management. (Priority 5) Before that I made games (High Voltage Software) including Flame-Sim (serious game for fire fighter training) GRAW2-PSP, Family Guy (PSP, PS2, Xbox); and Leisture Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude (PC, Xbox, PS2). I operate a home network with Linux, OS X, and Windows.
