Currently employed as a web developer in the SF Bay Area.

I am passionate about programming in general and interpreted languages in particular. I like type hinting, but not strong typing. I will almost always choose theory over practice, when given the choice. XML and regular expressions are both Good, but too often used when there are other tools better-suited to the task at hand. I have an almost irrational hatred of Perl — yes, there is more than one way to do it; no, that doesn't mean all ways are equally good.
