What do you do?
I make websites work both figuratively and literally.
What’s your technical expertise?
I specialize in front-end engineering. Specifically I build web applications, not Grandma’s Cookie Co’s about us page. That means I can do some serious javascript hacking. Of course I do HTML and CSS, too. But who doesn't?
I also do lots of server-side stuff. A year ago I switched to and strongly prefer python, though I’ve developed in PHP for most of my career.
What have you done?
I’ve created a few small successes, a few jQuery plugins, hosted some code on github. I also do lots of cool stuff at Topsy.
Where do you work?
Topsy in San Francisco. I made everything you see at manage.topsy.com and analytics.topsy.com. Right now I’m working on our analytics platform. I love data.
What else?
- My degree is a Bachelor of Marketing
- My first big site was a disc golf community site which is still active today: Ohio Disc Golf Project
- I love users and data.
- I’m a pretty private guy outside of my work.
