About

I've been a professional programmer for over a decade. My past work includes printer firmware for HP (my code still exists in most HP printers), back end services at Amazon.com, Android developer at Facebook, and 3 successful startups (SNAPin Software, Typesoft, and Swype). At Swype I was Lead Android Developer, leading a team of engineers split between two geographical areas. I'm currently Lead Mobile Developer at Travelytix.
