About Me

I am originally from Geelong, Victoria, Australia. I have also lived in Redmond, WA, USA while working at Microsoft, but now I'm back in Australia on the sunny Gold Coast.

I am also the creator of the Geohash Notification Service, a service to email you when a geohash falls within a radius of a given location. It is open source and the source code can be found on github.
