I'm a baby-boomer Canadian currently working in China. I've spent two substantial chunks of my career as a teacher — 1978-83 and 2002-10 — mainly because that is a good way to support travel. At other times I've worked in computing, mostly as a technical writer but a bit of everything else too. My current job is as a technical editor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, improving the English in papers that faculty or are about to submit to journals or conferences.

I am quite active on Wikitravel, where I'm an admin, and sometimes contribute to other wikis. See my Wikitravel user page.

I am very interested and involved with computer security and cryptography.

I wrote most of the documentation for the FreeS/WAN project which is a Linux implementation of the IPsec encryption protocols. I have permission to re-use that text here (see User_talk:Sandy_Harris/Permission). I wrote a Citizendium article on FreeS/WAN.

My Erdös number is five via Carlisle Adams, Michael Wiener and Ron Rivest.

At CZ, I am an editor in the Computers Workgroup. For more detailed background, see User:Sandy_Harris/Editor. For a list of articles where I have been the main or only writer, see User:Sandy_Harris/Articles.
