About

Hello!

I'm one of the Community Managers here at Stack Exchange. Before that, I was a software developer working on both web and Windows applications.

Prior to joining Stack, I was deeply involved with Charcoal and the mod community as an appointed mod over on Meta Stack Exchange.

I'm here for you, so if you see me around please feel free to say hello!

Huge fan of Sir Terry Pratchett, OBE.
