I have been working with the web since 1993, when I set up my first two web servers on a Mac SE 30 and a NeXT cube. I have seen the web grow from 40 web sites to billions. I have assisted students in learning about web technologies and forming their own companies.
I love working with anybody who wants to learn and finding creative solutions. I enjoy assisting people with technology and looking to make their world a better place.
I have degrees in astronomy and computer science. I started programming as a child and did my first web work in the early 1990s, but I didn’t expect either of these to become my profession. Fortunately it turns out people will pay you for them even though you’re having fun.
I love the ways the internet and the web bring people together. I love empowering people by introducing them to new skills. I love seeing people enjoy things. I love when someone discovers a passion of their own. I love working with students. I love friends and family. I love travel. I *particularly* love coffee.
