Day job:
  Web Tinkerer with Mozilla Foundation & P2PU

Favorite Python project:
  Academic favorite: PyPy. I'm a sucker for language experimentation and  meta-circular evaluators.
  Practical favorite: flask. It's simple, it's clean (using decorators for routes is fantastic), it's self-contained. Great for prototyping and simple apps.

Favorite Conference:
  It may sound like I'm sucking up, but honestly it was CodeConf. If only for Jeremy Ashkenas's talk on literate programming (but also for everything else).
