About Me

 Contact Info

Jim Kleinsmith "-jk" - I have been a Western New York (it's not upstate) "technologist" for several decades at this point but often have to remind myself there is more to life than just the screens we dissolve ourselves into so often these days. I use the term technologist, mostly because my professional experiences and interests are just too broad to fit well under terms such as software engineer or network engineer despite me having deep experience and demonstrated enterprise leadership in both. I suppose worded differently, I enjoy wearing numerous and varied hats in the technology realm often at the same time. To me, it makes as much sense to utilize guitars that have onboard computers as it does having one on your desk but, I don't always need a satellite uplink while I'm camping, cutting down trees, or a  fridge that can surf the web... yet...  ;)

Some technology interests in no particular order - Cloud, Web, IT Automation, Enterprise Leadership, Drone Photography, Development (Arduino, RaspberryPi, Robotics, Python, .Net, ASP, SQL, XAMPP, PHP, Angular, Eclipse, SOA, Agile, DevOps, 3D print / design, CNC, Live Video Streaming, Network engineering, PC Gaming, Video Production, Graphic design, Mentoring, Digital photography / media
