Nerd+art is my online home. I'm a big believer in the karma of openness and sharing so that's the plan: share a bunch of stuff as often as I can (or at least as much as I can make time for).

It's called nerd+art because that's the convergence of my passions. If I could give myself a new middle name (notice I have not mentioned my current one), I would not be able to choose between "Developer" or "Designer" (nor, frankly, would I really want either of those as a middle name). I do, however, wish that there were an easy to convey the thing I love to do.

For now, I usually settle for telling people that I like to make stuff. I like to discover and create, especially the sort of stuff that gets made from the unique full-bodied blend of a little design love and little engineering kung-fu.

I used to work for Microsoft where I helped make WPF (hopefully, the parts you like) and currently work for IdentityMine where I have a role called Experience Strategist. I've been speaking XAML for 6+ years and I'm getting pretty fluent, but, like you, I like to think of myself as technology agnostic. If you come here for inspiration, it really will be any technology that inspires. If you're looking for technical know how, it will most likely be Silverlight or WPF for now.
