Rud

I am a retired software developer. Wrote my first FORTRAN IV in 1968. I am still writing C++. I have worked in embedded systems. I have done amateur robotics (non-destructive), including competing in NASA Centennial Challenges. The header image is from the Space Robotics Challenge.

Wrote for Hackaday.com for a few years about C++ with a focus on Arduino and Pi.

I am an Amateur Radio Operator, or Ham, licensed as K5RDU by the US FCC. That means I can build a transmitter without the FCC checking my build. Nobody but hams can do this.

Father of 2, although I lost my son in 2014. Grandfather of 3 (2m, 1f) and g-grandfather of 1 male.

I follow C++, legal, political, SF authors, and general random discussions.
