Personal Mission

To help software live up to its fullest potential. To empower end users with architectures that avoid glass ceilings on self empowerment. I believe that many aspects of computing are more rigid, self-defeating, and esoteric than they would otherwise have to be.

When given an origami construction,
 you can learn to build your own by unfolding.
  Software should work like that.
