- Early years to early adulthood – India; British influence
- Education – engineering, math, science
- What I like – nature, people, ideas and possibilities
- Work – teaching, research
consulting, 1970 – 1885; try to keep information and skills current
- Work – Indian restaurant, 1989
- Work – SV, 1990. Do I like it? Love, hate. It’s made me a ‘new’ person;
it’s a great opportunity to learn about human beings and human nature –
intuitively, and formally if one so chooses. Why? Allows me to follow my
real interest.
- 4 Relevance of SV work: experience of the system
- Computer
- 4 Contrary to popular belief I don’t love computers but
computer apps
are great tools
that have made my life simpler
- 4 Experience. Long ago – scientific apps. Recent. Web-design,
programming in
visual basic;
document design; some spreadsheet; some database design but
not an expert
