August 2004 - present
I help build the cool new toys for Yahoo! Search UED.
In the past I've been a technical evangelist for the Yahoo! Developer Network, worked on the front page during its transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0, tweaked My Yahoo! during its 2005 makeover, plus other stuff. I hack, write APIs, documentation, and examples, and do all sorts of developer outreach, both online and in person.
