Hello Friend. (Feel free to peruse)

about me

I'm a software/web developer currently residing in State College, PA.

development

I started application development in high school, stuck with it through college, and now I'm doing it for a living. Most of the development I've done lately has been web and/or mobile based.

open source

I recently created a small open source Java library called twitpic4j. You can visit the project page here.

music

I love everything about music, and I play several instruments. I'm most comfortable behind a guitar whilst dealing face-melting pentatonic solos (not really).
