I have held off writing my here until I had a feel for how I might fit into this community.

Mostly, I tend to boost and favorite posts about anthropogenic global warming, USA politics and to a lesser extent global politics, health, food, job search, and ecosystem, system & systems thinking, complexity, causation and science. I haven’t been posting much. When I do post, it will generally be on topics in my profile…🧵

I’m adding to my pinned to explain my interests a bit. My focus on started in 2000 when @czds and our company added RFID and mobile barcode reader data to supply chain, logistics and asset management EDW/BI that we were implementing for industry and government organizations. Leaning on Bayesian methods and complex system experience, with community and sustainability goals…

…we expanded our reach in 2005-2015 to ”smarter everything“ categories still with regional, governmental and industrial, logistics organizations. Then, from 2010-today, clarity in our mission led to an maturity model of , , , , , and leading to

Podcasts, chats and panel discussions covering many areas related to…

and for with open source being at the heart of many of the discussions and communities with which we were involved. We first used cause/effect and Bayesian methods long ago (1980s), as well as causal inference and system thinking [not plural]. These are more important now as we extend into for TeleInterActive Microgrids and SmartRegion to address

…A conversation with @RuthMalan led to this expansion of my introduction, so here’s part of it. In the USA, here at home, I focus on politics more than I ever have, especially as @czds provides examples of current MAGA forces reminding her of the rise of Marcos…

…but also the impact politics must have to stop ecosystem collapse from

Politics, anthropology and conversations as part of system architecture can help with sensor analytics ecosystems for Renewable Energy and Storage, TeleInterActive , , Supply Chain and Circular Economy, and systems architecture to bring it all together, to reduce/reverse the impact from over a century of burning stuff

#IoT#IIoT#SensAE

…so, other than the techie stuff, our sensor analytics ecosystems stuff, the political stuff and the stuff, I might post about the deer who visit @czds and me, food that we’ve cooked (vegetarian) or baked (mostly bread, and that wondrous intersection of baking and cooking: pizza), and maybe fun stuff that we learn as we explore the Pacific NorthWest

…Speaking of learning, that’s what I really like. I like to learn. For me that often comes about by reading and something in what I’m reading sparks my interest, so I’ll read more, do it, read more do more, and after a few days or a few years, learn something else. Partially this led to my varied careers:

followed data management and analytics, followed data warehousing and business intelligence, followed sous chef followed chocolate sauce entrepreneur followed aerospace system risk assessment using cause-consequence analysis and Bayes, followed Physical Electrochemist (PV research in industry, mid-temperature molten salt fuel cell research for solar reactors in grad school, Li Battery stoichiometry as an intern), followed BS Chem BA Philosophy (technical ethics) minor math…

…and with all that, I’ve been doing, managing, leading, mentoring, consulting, influencing (ha!), industry analyst, starting and shuttering companies, and making our home a tech-enhanced-lifestyle/aging-in-place lab, but always learning, still learning (CausalAI [not really AI] but how will we bring conceptualization into the picture?). And if you read this far, you’ve learned more about me than you probably wanted to know. Now, go learn something else 👴🏼
