About

With a 20-year career and my own META-morphosis at Facebook, I still have the same coding passion. I consider myself a creative anarchist: I obsess over defining rigorous standards only to break and reinvent them. I have countless stories, and when I'm not coding, you'll find me at the climbing gyms.
