I enjoy working for a company that allows me to do the things that I do best. I find it natural to come up with neat ideas or ways to do different things, and then figure out how to get it done. While I have spent time in various managerial type rolls, however I am really a geek at heart and very much enjoy spending time solving technical problems. I have been involved in open source development for a a number of years now and enjoy the environment and the people involved on the projects I work with. The community and the vibe of open source is just wonderful and the Apache Software Foundation and the Eclipse Foundation have played such a huge role behind it all. Its just amazing. When not on the computer, I love challenges and logic problems, was obsessed with sudoku for ages but moved onto kakuro, a game of cross sums.
