About

Early web dev (1999 to around when jQuery came out), a decade of C++ in stock exchanges, and now Java in ad tech.

Here, I used to go by A—— C——, farmed XP on the tag to wield fake authority on unrelated subjects, ♦'ed a beta site, and created the SOCVR chatroom. (I take no credit for the community it's grown into today, that was @rene et al.)
