A passionate programmer, software architect, and a enthusiastic observer of internet technologies and usage. Having worked in a variety of roles, the essential passion that drives me is that of a Programmer. Architecture and Design issues excite me, Solving problems through programming is what I crave. C++, Java and Python I am quite competent at, Python being the most exciting. A number of other languages I experiment with.
