  14 ## Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton
  15
  16 * Hardware Experience: assembly-level programming, gate-level
  17   circuit design, PCB design, reverse-engineering, embedded systems
  18   design and programming, software engineering, standards development,
  19   libre project management and more.
  20 * Ethical Technology Specialist.  Identifies socio-economic imbalances and
  21   works out if there's an ethical way in which technology can help.  If that
  22   technology doesn't exist, creates it.
  23 * Interests: varied and including particle physics and poetry.
  24 * website: [[http://lkcl.net]]
  25 * github: doesn't have one (because github is a proprietary non-free service),
  26   runs his own git servers, manages projects (several), entirely in a libre
  27   fashion, including managing the server(s).
  28 * Availability: full-time
