I Nerd Out on Web Apps
Creating rich Javascript applications has been a passion of mine since the early 2000s. From teaching at various institutions, I have a strong understanding of the way SPA frameworks work:
- EmberJS : early adopter since sproutCore days; open-source contributor. 8+ years' experience. This website is using EmberJS; view the source code on GitHub .

Astro Starter
. - AngularJS : 4 years' experience; worked in enterprise companies developing financial recordkeeping apps along with identity management software

Photography
Whenever I travel, I try to capture as many of those breathtaking moments as I can. Sometimes, it isn't easy, but I do my best. My process for post-production generally involves correcting the lens profile and the obvious sharpening, detail, and contrast adjustments.
I own the sony a7r2 mirrorless, full-frame camera, and I have picked up many versatile lenses over the years, leading to a wealthy library of photos.
Music
I started playing keyboard at the age of 13, and have since gone on to make some breathtaking musical scores. I do not play in any bands, but I try to get out and participate in open mics.
Scuba Diving
Catch me underwater? Quite possible, because I have made diving one of my passions.

- Open Water
- Advanced Open Water
