What’s Happening

I'm a top-to-bottom programmer. I love beautiful code, have a good-for-an-engineer eye for UI (lots of user testing), understand how a cache page works in a CPU, am careful that my big JOIN statements use an index, and know how a packet gets serialized on the wire. I swear at my computer but not at my coworkers, and, if permitted, my Corgi loves to come to workwith me.
