Howdy! 👋

I'm a Senior Editor with The ReadME Project where we feature the stories of the people behind open source and dig into the trends of open source software and developers. I have been writing about the 💻 internet on the internet since 2009, when I joined ReadWriteWeb as a daily news writer, and have been using the internet in some form or another since the days of 1200 baud ☎️ dial-up and BBS door games. Most recently, I learned all about the world of ☁️ cloud native computing while writing for The New Stack.

Offline

I enjoy riding 🚴 bicycles for both fun and transportation, 🍅 gardening, 🍄 foraging mushrooms and other edibles as I hike with my partner and our 🐶 dogs, and getting involved in cooperative efforts, such as our local bicycle co-op.

Oh, and fun fact - I wrote a blog post about Facebook one time that accidentally stepped into the firehose of people searching for "Facebook login" on Google instead of typing "facebook.com" into their browser, and hilarity ensued. Some folks refer to it as the time I "broke the internet."
