Introduction
After graduating college with a Bachelor's in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, I've worked for over 3 years as an Information Security consultant for a "Big-4" Firm, started a company (that failed), and have done software engineering for a large telecommunications company. Through the years I had interest in mobile application development, starting with RIM then moving on to Android and iOS. Job duties have been wide and varied, from C to Web apps(my favorite framework being Django).

I started this blog with the goal of sharing some of my experiences developing applications for the Blackberry platform and using Django for web app development. I abandoned the blog for a little while and during that time I got involved heavily in Android development. I'll be adding more content on that subject just as soon as possible.

Sometimes there will be code examples, other times there will be ranting and raving about random topics but in the end I hope you'll learn something and enjoy your time here.
