About Me

My photo
ZW Opalka
I consider myself a technologist having worked with and developed code for the Internet since the early '80s. In particular working with routers and switches for over 20 years. Recently, I have developed an interest in the economics of the nation. I have a MS in Mathematics from Syracuse University, so I consider myself a fan of Orange basketball. In Mathematics, group theory and statistics are areas that I'm trying to learn more about. I enjoy programming, mostly "C" and focused on routing protocols.
