Biography:

I have been using F/OSS since 2000, when I returned from an LDS mission. My brother, Hans, introduced me to Linux at that time. I'm a pragmatist -- I use Windows and other commercial software when necessary -- but I do prefer F/OSS when available and appropriate.

I've worked professionally as a computer programmer for eight years, with a two year haitus from 1998-2000. I currently do internal systems development at Prosper, Inc. in Provo. I am most familiar with web applications programming. I have extensive experience with web services technology.

Additional Information:

I am a language glutton. I am proficient in Perl, Ruby and C/C++, but have tinkered with several others, including: Lisp, Scheme, Haskell, Java, Io, Prolog, Python. While I prefer dynamic/functional languages, I can see the value in static languages for certain tasks. I believe I can learn enough to be productive in any language you throw at me within one week if provided motivation.
