I am a software developer. I live and work in Toronto. I'm one of the lucky ones: my work is my passion - I code for fun. I enjoy learning new coding techniques and teaching others about software development - I find that the more I teach, the more I learn.
When I'm not coding, you can find me inline skating along Toronto's waterfront or playing Psychonauts or Splinter Cell.
