I have this tendency to get hyper involved with things that interested me.

For example, with Ruby…

Read everything I possibly could about it, books, blogs, ancient Sanskrit, etc
Built my blog, and rewrote it a few times
Started blogging too much about it
Started writing open source plugins and gems
Fell in with the Boston Ruby crowd
Attended every Boston.rb hackfest… EVER.
Eventually started organizing the Boston Ruby meetings
Managed to fit in some freelance Rails work in the side

It got so bad that people started to think I actually worked with Ruby by day. Boy, were they surprised to find out I was a closet Java developer!

That’s behind me though. I now work at SNIF Labs. Puppies and Rails, how could it get any better?

Some sites I’ve worked on:
