Hi. I'm Joshua Wise, and this is my web site. By trade, I am something of an all-purpose computer engineer, with interests ranging from digital logic design to system architecture to reverse engineering to radio design to toolsmithing to the occasional mechanical project -- and probably beyond those, too. In my non-for-trade time, you can often find me doing many of the above things, except for fun -- or goofing around on a bicycle, or climbing fake or real rocks. And no matter what, I like understanding how things (and people!) work, in as much detail as I can; I like taking whatever opportunities that I can to contribute back to the world around me.

I have been a handful of things over the years. These days, I live in Mountain View, CA, and I consult on nearly anything that I can help out on, as half of Accelerated Tech (more personal thoughts on that!). Before that, I worked as a senior ASIC architect at NVIDIA Corporation, and taught yoga at Planet Granite in Sunnyvale. Before that before that, I graduated in 2011 from Carnegie Mellon University with a M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering; and before that before that before that, originally, I'm from Wayland, Massachusetts, which in fact is the town that the Linux display server is named after.

I have historically been bad at writing and updating this web site. Every 10 years or so, I completely redo it, in the hopes that this time, the new technology will convince me to write more; a previous iteration was DokuWiki based, and before that was a pile of PHP includes, and now I have a static site generator, Nikola, backing the whole thing. I'm sure this time it'll work out. If it does, you can keep up on my progress in actually writing, with the below most recent 10 things I have blasted into the ether and updated this site to mention:

On the other hand, over the years, I have scattered a bunch of content all over the internet, including a weblog on Dreamwidth and a Fediverse presence. I've been trying to import some of that other content here, too. We'll see how I do about that! If you want a more full list, here's a link to everything that I have indexed here.

Of course, if you're looking for anything else, don't hesitate to e-mail me! Thanks for stopping by.

Best regards!
