Clearly a nixie fan. That document is about a freq counter app, using an AVR uC. The nixie counter photo, is pure window dressing that has minimal relationship with the document. Old counters, like the one in the picture, did the logic control using discrete chips, hardwired into state sequencers. I bet he owns at least one nixie clock. Probably built it himself, and designed it, too. If he used an AVR chip, he could possibly have entered in his time sheet, and got paid for it.
