About abrax3141

Hi. I'm Jeff Shrager. I mainly hack Lisp, but have dabbled in pretty much everything. I’ve been both a classic and modern AI hacker, but these days I’m hacking atmospheric chemistry. I was also an Adjunct Professor in the Symbolic Systems program at Stanford for over 20 years. DM me @ JShrager at gMail.
