I am a software engineer, artist and author living in Los Angeles. I have extensive professional experience developing hypermedia APIs, software-defined infrastructure, and web and mobile applications.

I have been a key engineer in a number of New York-based software start-ups, co-authored a book on the Tornado web server, and co-founded and operated a contemporary art gallery in Brooklyn.
