sp4ke: Crypto | OpTech | Networking | Systems

about me:

Currently focused on Bitcoin / Lightning related projects. I have a background in systems and networking.

I wore many hats before including: SysAdmin/DevOps, IT Architecture, OpSec, backend and frontend dev, clusters and networking.

On the programming side I have many years of experience with Python/Golang and feel comfortable with C-like languages.

I also have a modest interest in ML and Deep Learning (CNNs, RNNs and GANs ) within ethical boundaries.
