I go by Dee. I am pursuing a double concentration between Robotica/AI. However, my primary focus is Robotics and Artificial Intelligence and my particular area of interest is in space exploration. In particular, the development of artificially intelligent agents to supplement human exploration and colonization. I am also interested in the development of ECLSS (Environmental Control and Life Support Systems). I am a firm supporter of open source software and hardware. I use open source software whenever, and wherever, possible. I prefer to use Debian versions of Linux, in which I mainly rely on the Kubuntu version of Ubuntu Linux where GUI relies on KDE. I only use non-open source software when required by the situation. The main exception at the moment lies with Computer Aided Drafting and Manufacturing software because the Open Source versions are woefully underdeveloped. I am an experienced programmer in Java, Python, Visual Basic and the scripting languages of HTML 5, CSS 3, and JavaScript. I dabble in other languages such as the Arduino programming tool set. I am also an Atheist, Humanist, and Scientist
