About
About Me
I am a software developer from San Diego, CA.
- Occasionally, I write code in Java, .NET, C/C++, Assembly, JavaScript, PHP and Perl but I prefer Python and I’m learning R.
- I’ve been working with Django since the 0.96 days. I’ve contributed a few patches and I’m active in the San Diego Django User’s Group.
- I’ve worked on large database projects in MySQL and PostgreSQL and smaller projects in MSSql, Oracle and SQLite. I enjoy good database design problems that use things like nested sets or flexible schemas.
- I don’t really specialize in web design (the pretty stuff). Instead, I usually focus on the server side.
- If you’re interested in code samples, take a look at RPC4Django which I have hosted in Launchpad.
- In college, I actually majored in math. I have a good understanding of probability and statistics and I have an interest in data mining and large data sets.
- My interests lie in beer brewing, photography, finance, politics and sports — especially American football and especially the San Diego Chargers.

Hosting
I host my site at webfaction and I’m pretty happy with them. They are a little pricey ($8.50/mo.) but for the price they give you a lot.
Thanks
If you have money you don’t want or you’re feeling generous or you think I’ve done some good work, I have a wish list you should look at. Alternatively, send me a pint glass from your favorite brewery or a lowball glass from your favorite whisky distillery.
