I'm an Android developer out of Denver, Colorado in the USA. My main interests in development are wearables, media and Internet of Things. I have published a book on Android TV development (http://www.apress.com/9781484217832) and build devices whenever possible, even if those devices aren't the most useful :) Outside of work and development, I have a passion for building Star Wars LEGO sets, playing Ingress/Pokemon Go and reading. I also use to work as a zookeeper, so if you have any burning questions about giraffes, I'm the guy to ask.
