I'm a professional computer programmer currently finishing my degree part time. I contribute mostly to articles about New York City and the surrounding area and history, though I also spend a lot of time copyediting, fixing bad grammar and spelling, improving formatting, wikifying, and thwarting vandals when I see them.

Major Articles

I've made major contributions to (and in some cases started) the following:

• New York, New York
• Government of New York City
• Second Avenue Subway
• Robert Moses
• History of New York City
• New York Public Library
• Queens Borough Public Library
• Bannerman's Castle
• Intelligence community
  • Central Intelligence Agency
• City University of New York
  • Borough of Manhattan Community College
  • New York City College of Technology
  • York College
• U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services
• U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry
• Federal Government of the United States
• Hudson River
• Easton Press

Other stuff

I've also made small contributions to articles relating to the United States Senate, Star Trek (especially Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) and quite a few VFDs.

Pictures

I plan to release a lot of photographs I have taken for use in Wikipedia articles; here is a list of the ones I have contributed thus far:

• Bannerman's Castle viewed from the water
• Hell Gate Bridge
