who am i?

I am Brad Weikel. Currently, I am...

  • A people-first technologist who believes that technology can liberate human potential, whenever it isn't standing in our way.
  • An occasional Drupal contributor.
  • A copyleft advocate, supporting Free & Open Source Software, the Creative Commons, and anything else that disrupts the stranglehold of the IP regime.
  • Partially disenfranchised, because I live in DC and lack congressional representation.
  • A web & communications coordinator.

In the past I have been...

  • A managing editor.
  • A grad student, having completed a masters degree in communication, culture and technology or, as i like to call it, the study of everything.
  • A self employed web designer and photographer.
  • A game programmer for a minor developer of discount knockoff games.
  • A volunteer art teacher for teens in Langa Township, in the flats outside of Cape Town.
  • An SDET (software design engineer in test) for a major developer of sexy and expensive console games, and also for a few embedded devices including streaming media consoles and "smart" (lame) watches.
  • A Husky and a Hoya.
  • A dog owner. I miss you, Scrub.
