I'm an NYC-based full-stack hacker with 5 years experience from start-ups to Google.
My specialty is in backends, building websites, and developer tools (testing, internal tools, continuous integration, you name it). I also love consulting on existing projects if you need an informed perspective. But you know how it is -- in the end, I do whatever needs doing.

To sum up, I build high-quality solutions and I care most about communication, craft, and professionalism.
Java, Python, PHP, Hadoop, Scheme, HTML and CSS, testing and build systems, big data, tools, robustness, and problem-solving.
