About

I'm an optimistic programmer living and working in the Bay Area. I am a co-founder of Outspokes, a widget that lives on your site and helps you collaborate with your team and clients on tasks, designs, and bugs.


I enjoy geeking out and programming in my free time. Someday, I'd like to lead my own successful startup(s), be surrounded by both crappy cars and exotic cars, and run my own cafe. In the meantime, I'll keep this tech diary to remind myself of my goals. -Jerry
