I work on Servo, an experimental web browser engine built with Rust.

I also represent Mozilla in the W3C Web Events and Pointer Events working groups, and am co-editor of the Touch Events and Pointer Events specifications.

Previously I was lead engineer on the Firefox for Metro project, and a front-end developer on the Firefox for Android project.

I wrote Android apps using Java, WebKit, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. I contributed to the open-source ActiveJS library, including major optimizations to its SQL model.

I worked on blist’s front-end interface in Adobe Flex and back-end services in Ruby on Rails, building an easy-to-use online spreadsheet/database application.

I wrote front-end and back-end code for Seller Central, Amazon’s website for third-party sellers, using Perl, C++, Ruby, JavaScript, and Java.

I designed, implemented, and operated a highly-available content management system to display the help pages on Amazon.com, Seller Central, and other Amazon sites.

I worked with clients and graphic designers to build dynamic web sites in ColdFusion, PHP, and ASP.net, including Seattle YMCA, 511.org, and Intercity Transit.

I helped implement a new user interface for geographic profiling of serial violent crimes. I wrote Visual Basic and C++ bindings to connect Microsoft’s MapPoint GIS interface to ECRI’s analysis and visualization tools.

I contributed to Audacity, a free open-source audio editor for Linux, Mac, and Windows. With the two other lead developers, I managed Audacity’s all-volunteer developer community.

I programmed in C++, internationalized the UI with GNU gettext, coordinated the localization team, managed builds and releases, maintained the Debian package, and created the Audacity web site.
