My career interests are varied... Also, I have my passport and can travel when required.
I built my first computer in 1977, a Netronics ELF II, then added memory, and attempted to add a primitive voice control system. Voice control never worked right, but I learned a lot, and placed at the 31st International Science and Engineering Fair (experimenting with voice control hardware) https://student.societyforscience.org/intel-isef. I love photography (and am very good at it), am a member of MENSA, HAM Radio op (KA8QZG), ride motorcycles and bicycles, have been known to repair and repaint my own Porsches and fix my own Ducatis, refinish furniture...
