Qualifications
I was given my first computer when I was 6. I got bored with it and taught myself to program. In high school, I met the Internet. In college I ended up doing some web development for money. Everything else follows from that.

It may interest you to know that this resume is maintained in XML format and compiled into HTML, text, and RTF with a perl script, all available at my website.
