Hacker/Self-Taught Programmer On the hacking side I've always been into software and hardware reverse engineering – either extending software to do what I want or repurposing existing hardware. Most of my hardware work these days is with FPGAs. Over the last 5 years I've taken up an interest in organic semiconductors, and have created my own somewhat ghetto organic semiconductor wetlab where I have successfully made organic light emitting diodes. Professionally I've been working on the graphics, input, and window management stacks in the Windows OS for the last decade. Previously Chief Technologist at Stardock Corporation where I worked on a lot of products to change the look and feel of Windows, as well as a few games.
