Bio: I started learning Ruby when I was 13 because, coming off of Visual Basic, I needed a language I wouldn't hate. I heard it had great syntax, so I bought a book and gave it a try. I learned Rails (followed closely by Merb) when I was 15.

When not hacking or doing school work, I do improvisational comedy and play ultimate frisbee. Once in awhile I have a social life too.
