I'm a POSIX systems programmer that works mostly with C, Python, Bash, PHP and a bit of Perl. One of my weeks consists of a bit of kernel fiddling, hypervisor hipstering, committing atrocities with Python or PHP and building lower level API services in C and bindings for them.

I telecommute to work for EZP, an awesome web hosting company in Vancouver BC.

ACM Member 6408465, FSF Associate Member 9752.
