Current Activities

I'm currently a systems engineer working at Atlas Solutions where I facilitate release management and work on automated release deployment. At night I strip away my drab IT clothes and write web applications. When I'm not doing that, I'm exploring Microformats, thinking about ways to make the internet better, and constantly learning and making (and sometimes I might climb on some rocks).
