In the flesh, enjoying some ice cream.

I am a software engineer living in San Bruno, California. I'm currently employed at Wikia, in San Francisco, where I work on interesting problems in natural language and information, such as search and big-data modeling. In same search and NLP vein, I'm the author of an introductory video series on Apache Solr .

I also do freelance work with MalwareBytes, where I have the opportunity to work on a variety of interesting open-source projects. I'm always open to additional contracting opportunities in the areas of search, software architecture, and engineering management.

I occasionally blog about software architecture, search, web development, and PHP here. You can follow me on Twitter, or just see what I'm currently coding.
