I've been a professional developer since 1996 save for a few years finishing up undergrad and getting a Masters of Science in Computer Science. I've developed in C, PERL and Java on Unix and C#, C++, C, Java and too many other languages to recall on Windows. I am a Sun Certified Java Developer and a Microsoft Certified Applications Developer (.NET; Windows Forms and Web Forms).

If I'm not pouring through API docs, reading programmer's blogs or attaching to a remote process in a debugger then I'm probably scouring the web for interesting articles on technology, flashing the ROM in my Windows Mobile device, making my current boss happy or parked on the couch for some olympic class relaxation.
