CS major @ UCLA, finishing this June. Amateur Rails developer, along with extensive business experience in marketing, strategic planning, and more. Working on a startup with another top CS student here at UCLA. Aiming to have a prototype by mid-March. Idea is well developed with a comprehensive business plan along with advisors, one who was a part of PayPal's original team. Revolves around group based social networking / project management, and basically scratches my own itch. However, it is an itch hundreds of millions across the world also have (and is reflected in the feedback and market research surveys we've distributed). Applying to summer incubators such as YCombinator and Lightspeed Ventures. Django, blueprint CSS, jQuery, c, java, php, mysql, asterisk, telephony, linux (centos, ubuntu, gentoo), python, bash, networking, SEO.
Know-it-all UI engineer. AJAX ninja. Basically, anything front end related. I'm trying to take up that part right now since my partner is experienced on the back end, but progress is slow since I have to learn while taking care of everything else.

Social gaming, mobile, education
Here's a quick description of the startup: MindSnacks is a social gaming company that’s creating products for language learning and other educational areas. Our core mission is to take a unique, entertainment-focused approach to educational games; basically the opposite of the dull learning games we all know too well.
A little bit of everything. Founder of an existing profitable software company, with the scars to prove it. Tech: Clojure, Java, CouchDB, AWS/EC2, too many others to recount. Experience w/ wales, marketing, web design, accounting, legal, etc.

The real failure in life is never trying. Front-to-back end web development. Currently on a Front-end UI design. I can do css/html but it Django/Python kick. Was a Java guru, before that a annoys me.
