Brief Biographical Sketch:
I'm a Scheme programmer of many years. I've been around MIT for a long time, having taken & taught many HSSP, Splash, & MIT courses, and I'm a developer of MIT Scheme, used in many of MIT's courses; I also teach & tutor many people informally in subjects of programming and computer science.
