I've spent most of my life working with software and helping businesses and everyday people find ways that technology can help them solve their daily problems and make their lives easier. I have a love and a passion for developing and working with open technologies and finding elegant solutions to difficult problems. My interests include: fault-tolerant distributed systems, web APIs, computer security, machine learning / data mining, software engineering, operating system design, and a little bit of mobile development. I'm also an avid bicycle commuter (despite living in Texas).
