About

I'm a jack of all trades, at various points specializing in computer graphics, scientific application programming, databases, data warehousing, software quality, static source code analysis and now noSQL, in particular MongoDB. I'm happiest in hands on, highly technical, yet user facing roles. I also love to travel so my current job as a user facing software architect/developer advocate/PM for a company creating sophisticated technology is a perfect role for me. I currently split my time between New York and San Francisco.
