Daryn

I was born on September 6th, 1976. As my first attempt at humor, it was "labor" day... I grew up in Baltimore, and went to a small Quaker school from 1st to 12th grade. About 10 years ago, I moved to Seattle, finished college at UW, and have been here ever since. I've been programming professionally since 1997. One of my first big projects was building the entire backend for the now-defunct ABL (pro women's basketball league). I've never been laid off or fired, but I just quit the job I've have for the past 4.5 years! (Senior Software Engineer and later, CTO, at Spam Arrest) While the tech side of things is my expertise, I love being involved with all parts of the business. I had a short stint as the CEO and Co-founder of MyPW, where I did everything from writing the code and doing design, to PR and Marketing, pitching to investors, and launching the product on stage at DEMO. Now, I'm working on Eyejot, a new video email startup that's an incredibly fun change of pace from the years of dealing with spam fighting, domain registries, and security products. I've been married for 2 years. We have a 5-year old mutt and a 111-yr old house. You can learn a lot more about me if you just go read this blog already!
