I'm a problem solver, first and foremost. Beyond that…

I'm a Python developer with expertise in the Django web framework. I build web applications using either jQuery or Dojo on the front end, and MySQL or PostgreSQL (preferably Postgres) as the database. I prefer to deploy my applications onto Ubuntu servers, and have lots of experience with automation and scripting.

I'm a strong Linux/Unix sysadmin, and understand the various layers and spaces as well as the inner workings of the Linux kernel and how to configure and build kernel modules and applications.

I'm a member of American Mensa, a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, a husband and father, a Christian, a lover of all things open source, and a former Intelligence Analyst with a military background.

Above all else, I am eager to learn more.
