About Me

Hello! My name is Kevin Graaf. I'm a computer scientist and occasional writer. I am also a Christian in the Anglo-Catholic tradition.

This website contains (or rather, will contain) information on my various projects and some writing on various subjects. At the moment, I've written a bit about my Dubsar project.

If you would like to reach me, you can email me at

I will do my best to respond in a timely manner, but I am often bad about remembering to answer emails, so don't be afraid to send me another email if you haven't heard from me in awhile.
