Staff

Alkani

Alkani HeadshotAlkani is the workshop's cat of many hats. Responsible for most of the administrative functions within the workshop, he handles the day-to-day business of the event and the corporate entity behind it.* If you've had any administrative dealings with the workshop, he's probably the long-legged deercat you've interfaced with. When he's not working on the retreat, Alkani puts on a blue hat and works on midrange UNIX, Linux, and enterprise storage subsystems.

In the time that isn't consumed with work or administering the retreat, Alkani pens science fiction short stories set in the Dark Quanta continuity, a universe where furry alien species and humans have stumbled upon an ancient space-warping technology that enables long distance travel. He's also an avid fan of Guild Wars 2, MUCKs, programming, and databases. He also staffs at a few furry conventions and occassionally gives introductory-level panels on writing.

Alkani is actively developing short stories with the goal of putting together a short story collection (or shopping them out to the appropriate furry anthology) set in the Dark Quanta continuity in the future. In the meantime, he pushes the workshop forward and keeps plugging away at work and writing, in hopes that he might have the time to submit something to his writing group for review (and the appropriate MST3K-style heckling).

*Soon to be a 501(c)3 corporate entity.
