I live in Piedmont CA.

I am the creator of CouchDB.

I am the CEO of Couchio.

My good points:
I am very devoted, loving and supportive of my wife and daughters. I have a very positive attitude and am energetic. I am smart and a fast learner, especially when it comes to math, science and engineering stuff. I love solving really hard problems. I am a hard worker, and I am very passionate about my work. I am very honest. I like to make lots of jokes, sometimes they are even funny. I take good care of myself and exercise regularly. I am athletic. I read constantly (always non-fiction). I have good eye for aesthetics. I am good with my hands and like to make things. I like to bake. I generally try not to take life too seriously.

My bad points:
I am egotistical, judgmental and sometimes have a bad temper (but I'm working on those things). I am vain and self conscious. I don't take very good care of my teeth (but I do floss regularly: once every 4 months, whether I need it or not). I am messy and disorganized. I have a short attention span in meetings and lectures. I take my work too seriously. I am brutally honest (but I'm convinced it's not really a bad point). My self-created list of bad points is oddly short, hmmmm.

My weird points:
While I am pretty athletic (strong, fast, can jump, etc), I'm physically uncoordinated and hence suck at nearly every sport (except basketball, I'm decent at that). I am somewhat shy around new people, sometimes it comes off as being as being a snob. I spend waaay too much time in front of the computer, but that's the way I like it. I drink lots of diet soda, lots. I can't whistle. Sometimes my feet smell like hot buttered popcorn. I once was the proprietor of liquidpoop.com -- the internet's largest repository of diarrhea-related poetry. Although I'm vain, my wardrobe mostly consists of stained, freebie t-shirts and a few pairs of jeans.
