Hi, I'm Sef

I'm an engineer and Dad and tinkerer. I'm on break from many years of software engineering management — not retired, just on sabbatical.

For many years, off and on, I've written an old-style blog. Most of the posts are about management, technology, or life in general. I hope you check it out.

My career has been working for tech companies like Google, VMware, and Akamai, as well as some startups. My resume has the whole story. The most fun was building a site for online education for Stanford during the MOOC boom of 2012.

Lately I've become concerned by America's movement toward authoritarianism. I support the work being done by my local Indivisible chapter and the national No Kings movement and aim to do more.

I'm also playing board games, video games, and learning bridge. But I keep coming back to tech projects. I got my first computer, an Apple //e, and spent a whole summer hand-coding a robots game in 6502 assembly. I've always found that stuff fun.

If any of this interests you too, reach me via email (preferred) or @sefk on Mastodon.
