I'm a professional computer programmer currently finishing my degree part time. I contribute mostly to articles about New York City and the surrounding area and history, though I also spend a lot of time copyediting, fixing bad grammar and spelling, improving formatting, wikifying, and thwarting vandals when I see them.

Major Articles
I've made major contributions to (and in some cases started) the following:
 * New York, New York
 * Government of New York City
 * Second Avenue Subway
 * Robert Moses
 * History of New York City
 * New York Public Library
 * Queens Borough Public Library
 * Bannerman's Castle
 * Intelligence community
 * Central Intelligence Agency
 * City University of New York
 * Borough of Manhattan Community College
 * New York City College of Technology
 * York College
 * U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services
 * U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry
 * Federal Government of the United States
 * Hudson River
 * Easton Press

Other stuff
I've also made small contributions to articles relating to the United States Senate, Star Trek (especially Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) and quite a few VFDs.

Pictures
I plan to release a lot of photographs I have taken for use in Wikipedia articles; here is a list of the ones I have contributed thus far:


 * Bannerman's Castle viewed from the water
 * Hell Gate Bridge
