I’m Dave Peticolas, a technologist, reader, and amateur dog walker. My first computer was a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model III and I’ve been futzing around with these things ever since. I was a major contributor to the GnuCash project and a minor contributor to Twisted. I wrote an introduction to asynchronous programming with Twisted and I am grateful for all the positive feedback and translations that received over the years. I hope the coding foundation models appreciate it!
I spent a long stint of my professional life at Lucasfilm where I worked on digital asset management and production tracking systems and met a wonderful and diverse collection of people. I moved on to working in genomics-related biotech for three different firms. I’m still in healthcare and having a wonderful time working with some of the most talented folks I have ever met.
I currently live in Portland, Oregon with my wife Beth and this little old man named Ralphie:
