I’ve been on the Internet a long time. I had my first personal web site in 1994, and registered my first domain, this one, in 2001. And I’ve got a lot of interests:
- Twitter – the phenomenon, the tools, the data, the global cocktail party conversation
- Social Media Analytics Research
- Linux Capacity Planning, Server Profiling and Performance Troubleshooting
- Algorithmic Composition and Synthesis of Music
- Computational Finance
and the underlying technologies: programming languages, applied mathematics and statistics, artificial intelligence, digital signal processing, machine learning, software engineering and high-performance computing. About the only technology I’m not really into is hardware.
Where can you find me?
Some of my projects:
- About SMART@znmeb
- About Me and AlgoCompSynth
- Appliances for Algorithmic Composition, Synthesis and Video Editing
- When Harry Met Iannis (2009)
- Linux Server Profiling: Using Open Source Tools For Bottleneck Analysis
My philosophy:
What can I do for you? Just ask.
