At work, I develop software used by millions of people a day. At home, I hack on projects for volunteer groups or just to play around. When not at a computer, I absorb sunlight and dance like a crazy person.

Most of my professional experience is in Java, but I can grok systems languages like C, scripting languages like Ruby and Perl, web languages like JavaScript, functional languages like Lisp, and unpleasant languages like PHP (if I must). I love learning new ways to think about problems and have spent more time reading about some languages than I have writing them. I like doing things the "right" way and shake my head when the simple way is a kludge.
