I am an experienced (15+ years) web developer making a living working on an instance of Mediawiki for Vistaprint Inc. I live in Waltham, enjoy bonsai, hacky-sack, and orchids, and puns. I once submitted ten puns to a contest in order to win a big prize, but no pun in ten did. Recently (early 2014) I became part of the New England Wikimedians user-group.

I'm relatively knowledgable about MediaWiki and am glad to answer any questions you have &mdash; you can email me or leave a message on my talk page. See my (small) number of bug fixes on gerrit.

Vistaprint
I am currently employed by Vistaprint as a Lead Software Engineer. I am working on VistaWiki, the internal-documentation system for Vistaprint. You can read more about it here:

EcoliWiki
From Dec. 2006 until Dec. 2011 I was the premier developer for EcoliWiki at Texas A&M University. I was actively involved in the following research/projects: EcoliWiki, GONUTS,the Gene Ontology, GMOD.

Publications
I had the great oppurtunity to work on projects that both expanded my biological knowledge and challenged my technical thinking. Out of this came a number of publications:
 * EcoliWiki: a wiki-based community resource for Escherichia coli - Nucl. Acids Res. (2012) 40 (D1): D1270-D1277.
 * GONUTS: the Gene Ontology Normal Usage Tracking System - Nucl. Acids Res. (2012) 40 (D1): D1262-D1269.
 * The Gene Ontology in 2010: extensions and refinements. - Nucl. Acids Res. (2010) 38 (suppl 1): D331-D335.
