Portrait of Tom Krehbiel

Hi! My name is Tom. Thanks for visiting my site.

I'm a veteran software developer from Virginia, currently writing .NET web applications and data interfaces to support a large Business Intelligence data warehouse.

I'm also proficient in PHP, Basic, Java and C++. I've been programming since the mid-1980s; I started with a TRS-80 Color Computer. Before the dot-com bust, I was one of the founders of Nova Design, a startup that produced image processing software for the Amiga.

In my spare time, I tinker with various software projects, including this very web site. I occasionally blog about programming and technology, politics and current events, and video games. I've even been known to write fiction and compose music. You can contact me on Twitter or through LinkedIn.

Check out all of my posts, links and pithy comments on The Stream, updated daily (usually).

Enjoy your stay!

* Genealogy enthusiasts: Krehbiel is one of many variations of the original Swiss Krähenbühl name, which means "crow hill" (or some variation thereof). I'm descended from Peter B. Krehbiel, who came to America from what is now Ukraine in 1874 and later moved his clan to Virginia when he took a job for the Pension Bureau in 1901.
