Hacker, bicyclist, househusband. Living in beautiful downtown East Vancouver.

Once upon a time, I was in Silicon Valley, bouncing between idealists, pranksters, and tech giants in the SFBA. Formerly Google, Flickr, Wikipedia, and others.

I worked remotely for VRChat until June 2024, when 30% of the company was laid off.

I do mostly backend server apps, APIs, and server orchestration these days. I used to be known for frontend and UX innovations.

Interested in full-time and contract work.
