Moved to the Bay area 6 years ago and could not be happier with the diversity, art/music/food/culture, and nature our area offers. Lived in Oakland for 4 years (Lake Merritt is still my favorite hood ever), SF for a year, then moved closer to work in San Bruno. Career-wise, I've worked in the non profit sector, as well as on international development/relations before moving into the tech space. Currently I am really enjoying working on trying to solve the super challenging, but interesting question of how to scale support to an ever-increasingly large number of users via product updates and solutions. I am easygoing, artistically inclined (into music, theater, art, indie/foreign film etc),introspective, logically oriented, independent, and know how to be happy (positive/glass half full). I am interested in anything tech, international affairs, soccer, nature, food, the stock market, and film (All kinds, though partial to Indie/foreign/Scifi and 80's B horror). I've also always been into music so I have managed to see a great amount of live shows as well as collect a somewhat obscene amount of vinyl over the years. I like to spend my time exploring the Bay Area outdoors/hiking, running, watching soccer, reading (love my rss/mourning Reader deprecation), listening to music, seeing live shows, sampling Bay Area cuisine, being online, and exploring new places.
