About Me

I am a senior at the [http://ou.edu University of Oklahoma], majoring in microbiology (pre-med emphasis) and pursuing a double minor in French and Computer Science. Computers, programming, and Linux have been among my passions for many years; I operate my own computer repair business and also take on webdesign and programming work from time to time. In my free time I enjoy playing keyboard with my band, working at [http://invisionfree.com InvisionFree] and [http://asmallorange.com A Small Orange] (the latter of which has expanded my Linux server administration skills considerably), and hacking around on Ubuntu.

I believe that polish, that final 5% of any project, is the most important aspect in winning new users. As such, I would enjoy working in an area where I could work on user-interface issues and massage wrinkles out of ugly GUI implementations.
