As a kid, I learned to code from a curmudgeonly gang of nerds online. I made small-business websites; fiddled with quartz-crystal oscillators; printed money; built kiosks for the homeless; recognized speech for a defense contractor — then I went to law school on a dare. I became a lawyerly internet freedom fighter. I've since stopped playing with law and lately I've been feeding the hungry, measuring influence, and telling everyone's story.
I'm comfortable with many languages, platforms, and problems. contact me
