What? Where? Why?

First, I cannot state strongly enough that I am not this guy.

I live and work in Washington, DC, dividing my time between web development, interaction design, and product management. Throughout all of that, I write code, make wireframes and prototypes, and pitch ideas in English.

So “information developer” is just the best thing I could think of to describe what I do. I reject the notion that the term is meant to apply only to technical writers.

I’m an independent consultant, but in the past, I’ve worked full-time for software companies, consultancies, interactive agencies, and political campaigns. I’m currently involved in building applications for a number of clients in the political and entertainment spaces, using technologies like Ruby, Rails, the Facebook Platform, the iPhone SDK, and Amazon EC2.
