I lead MJG International, a diverse team who create software for the world’s only ubiquitous distribution platform — the web browser.

We created the, Day of JavaScript on Mobile conference at Google Headquarters in Mountain View as well as several other well attended industry conferences.

If you’ve heard of me it is probably because of my teachings in software development or my work in open source.

I owe much of my software development abilities and knowledge to contributing to open source projects—including creating the now de facto jQuery UI Datepicker plugin.
