| Opinionated, particularly on subjects I love (bridge, software design, William Blake, BDSM, history, economics, ...), rather competent, often helpful, often given to flaming.

| Current interests include Python, Agile Programming, Design Patterns, Linux, several bridge issues (Kaplan-Sheinwold, card play, statistical and combinatorial analysis of bridge-related issues, ...), some BDSM ones (spanking first and foremost), a few historical ones (late Roman Republic most of all), some current economics issues (care to bet on the durability of the mostly-stationary, up-and-down doldrums we're going through?), high-quality movies, and more. | Current interests include Python, devops, cloud, Design Patterns, Linux, agile development, several bridge issues (Kaplan-Sheinwold, card play, statistical and combinatorial analysis of bridge-related issues, ...), a few historical ones (late Roman Republic most of all), some economics issues (particularly, these days, behavioral economics and asymmetric-information economics), high-quality movies, technical management of software development, statistics, data mining, Google App Engine, business intelligence, and more. |

| I currently work mostly for AB Strakt (http://www.strakt.com/). Feel free to write me at alex@strakt.com ! | I currently work as Senior Staff Technical Solutions Engineer at Google, leading long-tail tech support for the Google Cloud Platform. On my homepage you'll find copies of several (old-ish) Python-related articles and presentations I've written; many videos of my presentations can be found by searching for my name on Google Video, much else (interviews, PDFs, &c) by just searching Google. You can write me at aleaxit@gmail.com (can't guarantee I'll answer!-). The Python books I've written for O'Reilly are available online as part of O'Reilly's "Safari" service, http://my.safaribooksonline.com/ -- subscribing to Safari costs money, but the first two weeks are free, so, I suggest you give it a try, as a cheap and convenient way to read my books, among many others:-). My latest book is the third edition of Python in a Nutshell, covering 2.7 and 3.5 (plus, highlights of 3.6), co-written with my wife Anna Ravenscroft and our old friend Steve Holden (each of us is a PSF Fellow and a past winner of the Frank Willison Memorial Award for contributions to the Python community). ---- CategoryHomepage |
