Early web dev (1999 to around when jQuery came out), a decade of C++ in stock exchanges, and now Java in ad tech.
Here, you may know me from the early days of SOCVR which I founded, or moderating the Craft Beer Stack Exchange.
At home these days I'm tinkering with fractal-based data compression, thinking about how we can humanize programming paradigms, and writing code to disassemble / analyze the 1994 SNES game Super Metroid.
