I've been working behind the scenes with deviantART for some time. In more recent times I've taken on the role of CTO of deviantART. This means I oversee all technical development and maintenance of the website and servers involved. I work with a great team and I'm always excited about what we can build to make this community an even better place.

I don't really know how many years I've been programming, but I do know that C++ has been my language of choice for nearly 16 years now. My main programming interests are computer graphics, UI engines, synthetic languages, systems programming, and networking. My other interests include business, law, markets, natural languages/linguistics, industrial/graphic design, movies (couple friends/family in the business), culture, food/cooking, stories, material science, nature, hiking.

In the future, I plan to work on technical methods to improve navigation on deviantART, trust metrics, improving databases/caches, improved search functionality, plus a whole lot more.
