I'm a born Canadian, raised North American, and as of July 2014 am 9 months into a round-the-world trip, completing my qualifications for saying "I'm from planet Earth" on my twitter profile.

I'm a professional software designer. At the moment I'm playing with the offline archives of the wikivoyage data set and performing the odd cleanup as I find discrepancies in the data.

Places I've been

• - Australia - Visited Brisbane, dove the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, Darwin, Melbourne, and Sydney.
• - Canada - Born in Toronto. I've also lived in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Waterloo, and Montreal.
