He started his career as a firmware developer for the high-end Superdome server division at Hewlett Packard. There, the JavaScript and C he wrought directed the power, cooling, health, and configuration of those behemoth devices. Since, he has been a web developer for PayPal, utilizing cross-domain JavaScript techniques with an emphasis on user identity.
