Environmental scientist (biology/oceanography), data analyst, data manager. Semi-retired.
Started programming in 1971 with FORTRAN and Basic. Started FOSS programming in the early 1980s. A trace of that work: http://www.kc85.info/index.php/magazines-mainmenu/morrow-owners-review-mainmenu-143/118-forever-z-scripts-a-loops-1.html. Now mostly working in Python; see packages 'mapdata' and 'execsql' on PyPI.
