Dean Mao’s Summary

I love developing applications to improve the end-user experience and will use any language or framework to get it done. In the past, I've developed desktop software using Smalltalk and Java. I currently work on web applications in Ruby, and mobile and desktop applications in Objective-C and LISP (Nu) during my free time.

Hopefully my software will bring a form of ubiquitous computing to the everyday user.
