I guess I should write an #introduction.

I've been using the internet since 1992 and contributing to #Wikipedia since 2001. I haven't used Twitter since early 2021 because I decided it was unhealthy, and I used Mastodon a fair bit that year, but then lost my account through, apparently, inactivity, which I didn't realize was even a thing.

I guess I should put some kind of tag cloud here of stuff I'm interested in? Maybe #physics, #Linux, #Debian, #manufacturing, #DSP, #Python, #Numpy, #math (more #algebra than #analysis), #raytracing, #commonsbasedpeerproduction, #creativecommons, #piracy, #scihub, #libgen, #emergence, #solarpunk, #history (especially #Hellenistic and #Mohist), #UX, #HCI, #controltheory, #lifesupport, and #infosec.

re-#introduction as a scientist

Training: #Mecatronics + #ElectricalEngineering

Specialization: Nonlinear #ControlTheory #MachineLearning and #KnowledgeRepresentation

Long term mission: The knowledge to solve any problem in the world might be hidden in scattered PDF files that are barely read. I want to contribute to the improvement of this unsatisfactory situation, especially in the (partly overlapping) domains of #engineering and #sustainability

Also: Teaching #Python

Hi!

My occupation is software developer and project manager.
Currently my hobbies are: programming (on diverse layers), 3D modeling, UAV (aka Drone) stuff, control theory, all kinds of simulations, embedded systems development, a bit of hardware hacking and photography.
