Overview

I live in Taiwan, because I believe it's the best place to live on Earth for most people. Things I like to do here include going to g0v hackathons, taking pictures, riding motorcycles in the mountains, recording ambient sounds, contributing to open source streetviews with Mapillary, riding ubikes on the riverside, coworking at cafes with people, and many other things.

Family

I'm engaged to be married, and my parents are planning to move to Taiwan this September. I care for a pet bearded dragon named Richard, and have several fish tanks. If you know any schools hiring teachers, my mom is an expert, and will be job hunting. If you know anyone that could use a laser scanning SME, my dad is an expert, and will be job hunting.

Career

For my engineering career, I'm split between running the co-op I founded, 508.dev, and my own personal contracting / full time engineering work. We're always open to new members joining, and also have plenty of time available across our engineers for more contracting work.

Ancillary to that, I've started a restaurant in Taipei with two other owners.

Travel

In the last year, I've had the following trips:
