Hi folks, I'm the turbo nerd mentor. :) Systems biology and comp sci was a weird combo in 1992, but it led me to working on cool systems like NFS, FreeBSD, the Human Genome Project, IMAP, Solaris Containers, and eventually browsers (Firefox). It's been fun and super satisfying to occasionally see technology I had a hand in make new things possible for developers. At Joyent I helped create an environment for Ryan and Isaac to build up the nascant node.js community and that experience stuck with me as something to be repeated. New things require space and time and support, and that's why I'm here doing this new Mozilla incubator. Maybe we already have the next node.js - hi deno! - but what about zero knowledge proofs deployed against the 1000 different places in the Internet where the landlords tax us today? Can't wait to see what you all want to build. I'm around all day, ama!
