I deliver lectures on Computer Aided Design & Drafting (CADD) and Computer Applications in Architecture at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Nigeria (ESUT). Apart from exploring the world of Building Information Modelling (BIM), I like to practice BASIC, C++, LISP, HTML, and CSS scripting/programming when I have spare time. These days, I do simple automation via Python scripting for Design Applications that support it.

My first experience with Linux was in 2006. The Distribution was Ubuntu (Dapper Drake). In 2008, I decided to take the Linux OS seriously when I discovered that it hosts some professional Software for Architectural Visualization and Design. The Distributions supported by vendors of such Applications were mostly Redhat Enterprise Linux, SUSE and Fedora. Fedora became my OS of choice by natural selection.
