I am a Software Engineer. I love open source solutions to tough problems. I waste endless hours of my life playing RPGs and various other games. My favorite stackoverflow tag was "best-practices" before it was deprecated. What I use to get things done:

  • Node.js, Backbone.js, Underscore.js
  • PHP
  • MySQL and MongoDB
  • NetBeans IDE
  • SVN, GIT
