#introduction time for me!

I'm a software developer. I lead a team working on making the Firefox UI faster, smoother and more responsive.

I live in Canada, and feel pretty good about that.

I help mentor students hacking on Review Board, an open source code review tool.

I play electric guitar and sing backup vocals in a pop rock band called The Johnson Report.

I'm a theatre geek, and enjoy occasionally dabbling in sound design.

Point-and-click adventure games rock.
