User:Luis.espinal

My name is Luis Espinal, and I like to participate and contribute with concrete actions and deliverables to FOSS/Creative Common endeavors. For such activities, I prefer to go by my actual name, and not by monikers.

I have been working in the IT/Software industry since 1995 in the Insurance, Manufacturing, IT Infrastructure and Defense domains; have a B.S. in Computer Science; have pursued a M.S. in the same field (sans the thesis). I'm now branching into Computer/EE Engineering by pursuing a M.S. on that field at WPI.

I've always loved blogging and writing about things since we first emerged from the (and later +) primordial soup of e-ons ago. My interests cover the following topics:


 * IT Infrastructure/IT Operations
 * Software Development and Architecture
 * Enterprise Architecture
 * Systems Engineering and Architecture
 * Embedded/RT Systems
 * Distributed Computing
 * "Light" Formal Methods
 * Theory of Computation
 * Java, C/C++ and other C-syntax programming languages
 * Non-C-syntax programming languages (Pascal, Ada, Lisp, etc)
 * Functional Programming, Parametrized Algorithms/Structures, Composition and Reusability, Software Metrics
 * Agile/Lean/Kanban Processes

... and Dilbert.
