- I'm a computer programmer in Sunnyvale, California, USA.

I've been an editor since May of 2005, mostly doing maintenance work ranging from fixing spelling to adding Taxobox or Citation templates.

Going over new pages is a great way to find articles to work on. When looking at new pages, I mostly keep an eye out for attack articles, of which there are quite a few; hoaxes, my favorite so far was a very elaborate article about Subjective-C; other articles that, while created in good faith, really shouldn't be here; and new pages that need a little help with layout or syntax.

I've created a few articles, for example C++ Technical Report 1 and Sanajeh. It has been a lot of fun to watch other people improve them.

I also help out with history merges and deletion and move requests. If you would like an article undeleted or userfied please let me know on my talk page.

I work for Google, and have in the past worked for Facebook, PayPal, Active Photo, Homestead Technologies, and WebTV.
