About

Proficiency, competence and ambitions of an educated layman, interested in much, expert in little

Some experience with programming in FORTRAN, C++, Matlab/Octave, Python and R.
Using Linux since 2014 and committed to it

I like it when a computer does what I want. It's a creative accomplishment where knowing what I want and wanting what I know come together

Happy to help and to be corrected
