What do you do?
Former actor and current software engineer with a focus on Ruby on Rails and test-driven development.
Why?
I love sharing my knowledge with others. My past as an actor helps me communicate effectively with technical and non-technical coworkers. I've been building sites since the days of GeoCities and eating chocolate for even longer.
