About Me

I’m a software engineer and technical project manager (LinkedIn), focused on web application development with open source tools and languages. I live in Portland, Oregon with my wife, four cats and a dog. I grew up in Northern California and graduated with a BA in English from UC Davis.

My day job is with Mozilla (makers of Firefox) as a Web Product Engineer and I’m very active in the Portland Tech community. I am co-chair of the annual Open Source Bridge Conference, am a board member and treasurer of the Legion of Tech, organizer of Code ‘n’ Splode, a user group for women in technology, and co-founder and secretary of the Stumptown Syndicate.

My non-tech activities include Hatha Yoga, cycling, hiking, folding origami and other misc art projects. I’m also Buddhist, vegan and queer.
