I’m a software developer at Google, with experience building web and mobile applications in Ruby, JavaScript, .NET, Java, and Objective-C.
Twitter (I'm pretty active): https://twitter.com/dan_tao
GitHub (I have lots of repos): https://github.com/dtao
I originally studied Philosophy at Duke, then entered the software development profession shortly after graduating in 2007.
In 2008, my wife and I joined WorldTeach and spent the year teaching English in Namibia. It’s a beautiful country with many wonderful cultures, and I would recommend it to anyone.
In 2009 we returned to the States, where I began work at a trading firm in Philadelphia. Eventually we moved to San Francisco in 2010, where I entered the Software Engineering program at CMU Silicon Valley.
While at CMU I also worked at ThoughtWorks, a software consultancy full of amazing people. I later worked at Cardpool, an online exchange for pre-paid gift cards.
At Google, I currently work on the Ads Review team.

Is there a name for the new “shake phone” interface convention? Seeing it referred to as "Shake" within the iPhone API itself was all I needed! |

Where do I begin when dealing with my first corporate client? True, excellent point. I'm really not interested in bleeding some company dry, especially considering it's my wife's place of employment! |

What are the so-called “levels” of understanding multithreading? That is indeed a nice model. I'm accepting JB King's answer just because I'm relatively certain he correctly identified the concept I was referring to (or anyway, the concept underlying that concept). |

What are the so-called “levels” of understanding multithreading? Haha, I think so! What I must be remembering is someone referring to these stages and applying them to the topic of multithreading. Good call. |
