I am a long time software developer, having started my software development career writing an in-house accounting package for a construction company on an Apple II in Applesoft BASIC. I`ve worked with several languages since and have been working mostly with Ruby for the last few years. I`ve lived on four continents and now spends most of my time split between Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Reston, Virginia (a suburb of Washington, DC). My other interests include karaoke, current events, foreign languages, massage, technical community, and becoming a better human being. My handle on Twitter, Github, and LinkedIn, but not Instagram is @keithrbennett. ©
