BIO

I'm a pretty well-rounded nerd who enjoys a hot cup of coffee, even on a scorching 45-degree weather. I love staying up late and enjoy long solitary walks on cold mornings. Fun fact: I was Time magazine's "Person of the Year" in 2006. It's true. What really gets me going is my passion for technology and social impact. I want to help create communities where technology is used for and by all people.
