I've been programming for over 10 years in various languages. Python is by far my favorite language. You can usually see me grinning while I'm writing Python. I have an unhealthy obsession towards performance tuning and optimization. I am a voracious learner and I love sharing the stuff I learn. I work on the Python instrumentation team at NewRelic where we concoct creative ways to find performance bottlenecks in Python webapps.
