... and other things that should be as simple as possible, but not simpler. |

Welcome to the technical blog of John Jacobsen, a software developer currently living in Chicago, IL.
I have been a software developer since the late 1980s, mostly working in the field of high energy physics and particle astrophysics. My current specialty is developing distributed and/or Web-based applications for scientific computing, though I have done a fair amount of low level software engineering (Linux device drivers and embedded systems) as well.
I like to write elegant, powerful, maintainable code. Generally this means striving for simplicity whenever possible. I also practice iterative, test-driven development and fully-automated deployment workflows with frequent releases. I like Python, Clojure, other Lisps, Git, Eclipse, Emacs, and many, many more things. I'm also an on-again, off-again visual artist (painting, drawing and photography).
The site for my consulting business has more details. I'm also on StackOverflow and GitHub.
