Recovering Software Engineer, currently reclaiming my Electrical Engineering education (BSEE '86 University of Texas at Austin). I came of age when the personal computer (PC) came on the scene and spent most of my career in software development. Currently gainfully employed as an (Industry) Analyst Relations manager at Cisco. Getting my technical fix at night and on weekends from circuit design and project construction, with very valued help from other members of this site.

For some odd reason, currently fascinated with power electronics and control loops. Even starting to feel an awkward attraction to Calculus, which I certainly never thought would happen :)

Before this, was an after-hours open source developer in Python. My two main projects are python-pptx and python-docx which both enjoy a satisfying measure of success.
