Adam O'Grady

Adam O'Grady hails from the remote Perth, Western Australia, and can usually be found on Twitter at @adamjogrady or in meatspace wrangling with code. His first taste of programming came from building games into graphics calculators at high school, and quickly developed into a passion.
