<h2>I Solve Problems
</h2>
<p>Hi. I'm a software engineer seeking an organization where I can add value directly through
the flexible application of cleverness, dedication, and pragmatism. I wear many hats
to solve problems, and if none fit, I’ve made new hats after consulting trusted hatmakers
and hatwearers. In the past I've enjoyed working on problems of scalability in the face of big data
challenges, agile iteration of user-facing software in response to feedback and measurement,
and building internal tools to meet the observed needs of the team.
</p>
<p><b>Update:</b> I am very excited to now be working for <a href="http://wikimediafoundation.org" taget="_blank">The Wikimedia Foundation</a>,
the people behind Wikipedia! So I'm sorry to all y'all who keep emailing me — I am no longer
available for other work.

<p>I designed and implemented Clearspring's WAN and AdClient Frameworks, a pair of highly flexible substrate for display, video, and rich-media creatives.

<ul>
<li>Utilized by hundreds of advertising campaigns across 100M+ views, measurably increasing engagement and ROI.
</li>
<li>Public API consumed by a half-dozen artists and engineers, requiring backwards compatibility and feature stability over the course of several years.
</li>
<li>Client frameworks in Flash, Flex, and JavaScript.
</li>
<li>Management console for campaign configuration, and interactive test harness for creative and developer testing.
</li>
<li>High flexibility via cascading configuration specified at build-, serve-, and run-time, allowing operators to tailor units to campaigns and units to intelligently respond to the environment.
</li>
<li>Substrate collects analytics, providing insight into performance, interactivity, and audience composition. Metrics customizable on a per-unit and per-campaign basis without code changes.
</li>
<li>Technical architecture designed to be flexible enough meet unknown advertiser needs, but minimize bandwidth costs. Driven by a versioned, CDN-served bootstrapper, in turn dynamically loading only the necessary modules at runtime to minimize load.
</li>
<li>Extensive headless test suite using Maven+Jenkins, as well as in-page test harness for operator experimentation and developer/studio testing.

<div class="bottom">
<p>I designed and implemented Clearspring's WAN and AdClient Frameworks, a pair of highly flexible substrate for display, video, and rich-media creatives.
</p>
<ul><li>Utilized by hundreds of advertising campaigns across 100M+ views, measurably increasing engagement and ROI.
</li>
<li>Public API consumed by a half-dozen artists and engineers, requiring backwards compatibility and feature stability over the course of several years.
</li>
<li>Client frameworks in Flash, Flex, and JavaScript.
</li>
<li>Management console for campaign configuration, and interactive test harness for creative and developer testing.
</li>
<li>High flexibility via cascading configuration specified at build-, serve-, and run-time, allowing operators to tailor units to campaigns and units to intelligently respond to the environment.
</li>
<li>Substrate collects analytics, providing insight into performance, interactivity, and audience composition. Metrics customizable on a per-unit and per-campaign basis without code changes.
</li>
<li>Technical architecture designed to be flexible enough meet unknown advertiser needs, but minimize bandwidth costs. Driven by a versioned, CDN-served bootstrapper, in turn dynamically loading only the necessary modules at runtime to minimize load.
</li>
<li>Extensive headless test suite using Maven+Jenkins, as well as in-page test harness for operator experimentation and developer/studio testing.
</li>
