Network engineer going back before there was an Internet. Was an active participant in OSI architecture and formal testing, but have been involved in the Internet Engineering Task Force, North American Network Operators Group, and Internet Research Task Force. Published four network engineering textbooks, four IETF RFCs plus contributions to other documents such as "Future Domain Requirements" (i.e., what happens after BGP), many professional presentations.

Extensive experience in fault-tolerant networking and computing for telecommunications, healthcare and military applications. Background in biochemistry, emergency management, and continuing medical education allows me to help physicians define what they want to do with systems, and translate these to implementation requirements. Recent involvement in computing and networking for maritime navigation, safety, and fisheries management.

Long-term interest in intelligence and special operations; principal contributor to the Intelligence Cycle Management series on Wikipedia. Have done recent OSINT consulting, although for confidential clients.
