I'm a programmer (fluent in Common Lisp, Javascript, Java, Python, and Perl). I've dabbled in Haskell, Scala, C++, and Objective-C - but still have a lot to learn about them.

I've worked on a few fun projects, including satellite defense for the DoD, a couple of big Lisp webapps, and large distributed systems.
