I'm 28 years old, and I have a BS degree in Computer Science with a minor in mathematics. I am a software developer by birth and trade. I've used many programming languages over the years, including (but not limited to) C, C++, Clojure, Ruby, C#, Java, Groovy, Perl, Python, Erlang, Objective-C, Common Lisp, and Scheme. I've experience building and shipping mobile consumer apps for both iOS and Android platforms, building large, asychronous backend systems, working on operating system internals, building thick-client desktop software, writing line-of-business software with complicated business rules and external integrations, and working with realtime manufacturing-floor control systems (among other things). I consider myself a die-hard Emacs user, and my preferred operating system is Linux.

I am a Christian. I'm married to the most wonderful, most beautiful and most intelligent woman in the world, and we have 2 awesome children. Politically, I self-describe as a paleoconservative with libertarian tendencies in some areas. I have always loved the ideas and philosophies upon which the United States was founded, and I pine for a return to those things. Individual responsibility, liberty and propriety are the only values upon which a truly sustainable and successful civilization can be erected.
