About Me
Posted on
Hello. I’m Iain R. Learmonth a.k.a. irl. My pronouns are he/him. Words that can describe me include: hacker, researcher, developer and activist. I live in Aberdeen, Scotland, Europe, Earth, Milky Way. I design, build, and analyse systems for communications. These systems often, but do not always, involve computers. I am particularly interested in communications that provide security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) in the most challenging of conditions. I am a subscriber to the “Hacker Ethic” as described by journalist Steven Levy as in his 1984 book Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.
