My real name is Marc Donner. I am a computer scientist living in New York City.

As of this writing (27 February 2025) I am the president of the board of 205 West End Owners Corporation, a Cooperative corporation that is responsible for 205 West End Avenue, an apartment building that is a component of Lincoln Towers.

I have edited the Lincoln Towers entry in Wikipedia extensively to correct self-serving inaccuracies introduced by a real estate agent.

I have edited various other entries, mostly to correct minor spelling and wording errors.

I have worked in the financial services industry (Morgan Stanley) and in high tech (IBM Research, Google, Uber).

I was a member of the founding editorial board for the IEEE Computer Society magazine "Security & Privacy" for which I wrote a number of editorials and a column on science fiction called Biblio Tech. The editorials and Biblio Tech articles are reproduced on my Blog nygeek.net.
