About Me

You can find the most about me by visiting my KeithBarrett Online web site and blog. I'm a technologist (geek) with a love of comedy and a long career as a Software Engineer and Project Manager. My work has ranged from personally creating entire network/computer infrastructures for pharmaceutical companies, to developing software at Red Hat, IBM and The Walt Disney Co.


I've also had minor training in television production, broadcasting, and improvisational comedy. Despite not having any actual talent I once had a live comedy series on community cable, played a dead scientist in the movie "Echoes", and for several years I've been singing in Walt Disney World's Candlelight Processional and with SingLive Orlando. I'm also an early adopter of technology, learning ASL (American Sign language), and volunteer at "Give Kids the World Village". I have a fondness for bad sci-fi and pop culture. If a B/W movie had a rubber mutant monster or giant radioactive insect in it I probably own it on video. :-)


I am married 20 years to an extremely talented artist named Cindy, and we live with the smartest cat in the known universe.
