about me

I'm a Network Engineer at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, occasionally moonlighting as a Mathematics undergrad. I've a passion for caving and cycling, and interests in radio, free software, music composition and performance, real analysis (and other math topics), and IPv6 deployment. By day, I focus on DNS, DHCP, IPAM, and network performance testing.

I am not much of a software developer, but it is a bit of a job skill. I currently speak python3, bash, and narrow subsets of tcl, expect, C, and go.

My contact info can be found on the root of this site, along with my PGP key fingerprints (I used to use PGP on a regular basis, but now mostly consider it stupid). I further have a github account (I use the handle 'echarlie' there, too).

A lot of my involvement in the Linux and Unix Users' Group at Virginia Tech is described on my user page there.
