My name is Raymond Yee. I'm also known as 余 俊 雄, though primarily to my Mom and Dad who gave me both my legal English name and my Chinese name. I am

• a 36-year old Canadian citizen, born and raised in Timmins Ontario
• a resident of Berkeley, California for the last 13 years
• the son of Chinese immigrants, Wayne and Joanne
• the brother of two sisters, Janice and Shirley
• a Ph.D. in biophysics who doesn't work in biophysics anymore
• a Christian of some type (I was going to use labels such as orthodox and evangelical but wondered whether those labels are accurate)
• a member of First Presbyterian Church, Berkeley
• a staff member of the University of California, Berkeley, where I am the Technology Architect for the Interactive University Project
• an avid admirer of Johann Sebastian Bach
