About Me

Everything you wanted to know about me, or some of it.

That's me, digitized

Welcome to the Numeric Citizen Space, my little corner of the internet. My real name is JF Martin, but I prefer to be called Numeric Citizen here. This is my "nom de plume" name (learn why I'm using this name).

I have been an IT (Information Technologies) professional since the early nineties. I'm 57, I'm probably getting old, I know. My hobbies are many, but writing is the one that’s taking up much of my spare time. I spend about twenty hours a week on writing and publishing (my time tracking is fully documented here). Why? Get the answer in “I read, I learn, I write, I Share”. As explained in this post, I write about my passions, which revolve around Apple, photography, and other things as well. If you like my work, you can support me via my Ko-fi page.
