5. Biographical sketch:

Robert Kiraly, OldCoder, is in his 60s. He's been a code and data architect since 1978. That was 3 years be­fore graduation from U.C. Berkeley.

OldCoder was High Honors in Mathematics and Honors in C.S. from U.C. Berkeley.

OldCoder was 50% of the U.S. Vote one year, soft­ware development side, nobody else. He's done work for the DTIC, the CIA, UK-NCIS after 9/11, and the U.S. military through the MILES project at Northrop-Grumman.

OldCoder has had approx. 6 gag order attempts filed against him since 2012. He's never lost a case. He's never even sign­ed a Court settlement. There was one non-Court agree­ment that he tore up after the other side violated it. It's a colorful story for later.

OldCoder adds that past parties have spent approx. $500,000 total trying to get gag orders and have gotten bupkus for their efforts. OldCoder likes to remind the other sides of the $500,000.

More in due course. Probably on a sep­ar­ate Biography page.
