About Me

Professional

I'm a software engineer by trade, currently for Akamai Technologies. I've previously worked for a small company called Red Swoosh, as well as for the United States Geological Survey. My field of expertise is centered around the web — web servers, HTTP clients, web applications, etc. I started writing software for the web in the form of some small perl CGI scripts when I was about 15, which means I've been doing this for close to 15 years now.

Personal

I was born in 1981, which makes me 28 while I'm writing this. I grew up in Santa Cruz County, California. I moved to Sacramento to attend college at CSU Sacramento. After a few years, I moved to San Francisco for the big city life, as well as the fact that it's the epicenter of the software industry. Recently, I've moved back to Santa Cruz, where I live with my wife Jaime. For hobbies, I surf, sail (see the section of this site about my boat), and cycle, among other things.
