I am a software engineer interested in web architecture, interface design, mobile devices, and community building. As a rule my approach is to avoid unnecessary complexity and maintenance hassles by building simple systems that are easily deployed.
While working for large companies, public & private universities, and startups I've delivered a wide range of projects. My favorite types of work include data mining, performance tuning, solutions architecture, technology evangelism, web technology standardization, and web-scale search. Sometimes I make things for myself and share them with others.
When not focusing on internet technology I try to make time for blogging, cooking, multimedia, music, and veganism. It is unclear, but in another life I might have been an urban planner or an NHL hockey player. I live in Seattle, Washington, United States.
