What do you do?
I (co)organize events all over the city for the tech and creative communities of Philadelphia, including BarCamp Philly, Refresh Philly, Ignite Philly and UX Book Club Philly. By day I am a tech lead, running weekly code developments for a realllly big website.
What do you wish you did?
So many things! I love being involved with the community stuff, so I would love if that were more part of my job focus. I’m also totally obsessed with user experience, social experience design and product development. I want to create amazing experiences for people on and off the web.
Have you ever been to a BarCamp before? If so, which one(s)?
I organize BarCamp Philly and attended HigherEd Camp.
If you were to lead a session, what would it be about?
I’ve always wanted to do a session on Yoga for Geeks. I’m also interested in the relationship between being a web developer and an artist — how programming is like painting, how obsessive attention to detail harms and helps the work that you do.
Give us one interesting fact about yourself!
I like totally love alliteration. And graph paper.
