About

I'm on the Chrome team at Google, working on tools to help improve developer productivity and satisfaction.

My personal projects include TodoMVC, which helps developers compare JavaScript MVC frameworks and AuraJS. I've also written 'Developing Backbone.js Applications' and 'Learning JavaScript Design Patterns'.

Friends
