Background
I am a software developer with an interest in communication and design. I enjoy
experimenting with new things to expand my knowledge and I believe that creating ways for
people to share knowledge is one of the greatest goals for mankind.
I strive to be a quick learner and both a competent leader and capable worker. I am an
Eagle Scout and was an active officer of the Cal Poly Linux Users Group for three years. I
was awarded Cal Poly's Residence Hall Council member of the year for both 2006 and 2007.
In my free time I enjoy contributing to open source projects, hiking, reading and
listening to music.
