ABOUT ME

Location independent freelance programmer. I live in the places I enjoy the most - most recently New Zealand and Thailand.

Took off from corporate America to travel the world. Since then, I've been around NZ / Aust / SE Asia, and looking to make it further soon! I enjoy hiking/backpacking/tramping and paragliding, though eating is probably my favorite activity!
