About Me

My name is Steven Nikkel.

I volunteer for distributed.net. Mostly as a software developer, but I poke my nose into day to day operations.

I'm an active Geocacher and past director of the Manitoba Geocaching Association.

I'm a Assurer for Cacert. Contact me for assurance.

I enjoy putting technology to work for me. I love my TiVo's and my Roomba. I've got X10 controlling the lights and a 1-Wire network providing temperature and humidity monitoring around my apartment.

In 1999 I graduated from the department of Computer Engineering at the University of Manitoba with a bachelor's degree (BSc Computer Engineering).
