I've been hacking computers since age 6. These days, I'm a software engineer at Google, working on maps and related things in the Geo group.

Besides being fluent in English and American Sign Language, I know too many programming languages to count. Primarily these days I use Java, JavaScript, Python, and C++. I also enjoy C#, even though nowadays I don't get many chances to use it. I'm also a big fan of Haskell and Scala, although I haven't had a chance to use either of them in a large-scale project yet.

In my spare time, I play guitar and read voraciously, including science fiction and books on computing. I'm also a volunteer minister for the deaf, teaching Bible studies in American Sign Language.
