San Francisco. He/Him. US/UK.

Open to work. No "AI".

Software/hardware/chip architecture, generalist from silicon to apps, somewhat InfoSec. Ex-big tech.

I have bathed in the flood waters of capitalism, and emerged a socialist.

Alumni: empeg / Diamond Rio / SigmaTel / Google / Apple.

Mostly posting about building gadgets (PCBs, embedded firmware, etc), and snarking about big tech and politics.

Carrying water for “AI”, fashtech, or having an email address ending in ".ai", gets you blocked.

Sorry but arguing that software engineering isn’t “working class” is one of the main reasons software engineers rarely have a union, and why they end up as pawns in politics.
