My name is Gabriel Helman. I’ve been making computers do things since the late nineteen-hundreds. I’m also a writer, occasional freelance game designer, and part-time raconteur.

This is Icecano. The name comes from a mis-remembered line in a mid-70s Doctor Who story.

If you’ve come here from LinkedIn, you may be interested in Software Forestry, my series on software development.

Otherwise, see the blog or archives.

I can also be found elsewhere on the web in these places:

• LinkedIn
• GitHub Profile
