Web Dev - Data Analyst - Teacher

I've always been intrigued by technology and remember creating my first Led Zeppelin tribute page in 2001. I wish I had kept at it, but I've been busy traveling to over 30 countries, teaching ESL, tasting delicious food, learning languages, playing music, and always keeping an open mind. I'm currently a freelance software engineer and data analyst living in China with my wife and daughter. Feel free to send a message just to say hello! :)
