Hello, I'm David Wicksell. I'm a programmer/UNIX system administrator/GT.M database administrator and Vice President of Operations at Fourth Watch Software, LC.

I have only recently gotten into this profession, having spent my first decade or so of adulthood as a salesman/laborer. I started programming in M[UMPS] in March of 2008, under the teaching of Rick Marshall through the Paideia program. My job allows me a broad range of choices for implementing software solutions, so I enjoy writing and developing software using many different languages, working in many different domains.

I'm the station chief for station 4 of the MDC (M[UMPS] Development Crew/Committee): The Shell or MASH (M[UMPS] Advanced Shell). The goal for my station is to create a sort of standard library for M[UMPS]. A cross implementation library of APIs that will handle I/O, as well as supply a standard shell for interaction with a M[UMPS] interpreter. The ideas are very much in flux, and any ideas you may have are greatly appreciated.

I have a wonderful wife, and three darling children, a boy and two girls. Oh yeah, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention we also had a cat. I am looking forward to meeting and helping our members here on mumpster.

Welcome to Mumpster, David, and thanks for your help in making this all happen.

You should also tell them about your role on the MDC.
