I work as software developer for a large department at the University of Minnesota. I'm a strong advocate for FOSS, libraries, and information & technology literacy (including my own).

I have particular expertise in PHP & MySQL, while I remain an insufferable Ruby on Rails n00b.

Stack Overflow makes me a better programmer while I can offer my own help to make others better programmers.
