Full-stack hacker w/ design chops. I learned to code in BASIC when I was 8 and never stopped. After 15+ years of professional experience, I'm now happiest designing and building entire websites, or complex user interfaces.

My personal heroes: Paul Graham / Rob Pike / Bret Victor / Rich Hickey / Doug Engelbart / Edward Tufte / Jakob Neilson / Jef Raskin / Clay Shirky / C.A.R. Hoare / Joel Spolsky / Peter Norvig / Tim Pope / Steven Wittens / @antirez

My favorite CS texts: The Dragon Book / A Pattern Language / Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs / PragProg / The Little Lisper / The Art of Computer Programming / The Linux Programming Interface / The Art of Unix Programming

Coding is my primary creative outlet, but when I'm not building away, I'm usually tending to my yoga practice, DJing somewhere, or playing the guitar poorly.
