I am a foodie and like good coffee--things that are craft. Also enjoy bicycling, hiking and body surfing on the weekends with friends. Working the barbeque, researching stuff and journaling, drawing are some favorite hobbies. The computer gene is alive and well in me, and I am a software engineer by trade, so keeping up on social networking trends, best practices for designing software that works well on the Internet, inside our smartphones and which can expand into those unbounded computing clouds is a constant activity. I am passionate about creating well designed computer systems and software, which means dealing with a lot of complex issues in a pretty limited time frame. With each new success I get a lot of satifaction and am really beginning to enjoy the journey. Being athletic is natural for me, and I`m greatful to have surfed some really big waves, and won some volleyball tournaments and motocross races in the past. ©
