E's home page

Hello.

I love logic, music and programming, among other things. This website is a repository of my creative endeavors and a place to express some thoughts. You can e-mail me at e at cubelogic dot org.

My résumé.

Music

I am part of a duo called ustr?ga.

Logic

I run a small software house called Cubelogic.

Beside working at InfoDome, a free online database company, where I do front-end development in ActionScript, I am currently involved in a personal iPhone project, and in the past I have done other Cocoa, C, C++ and Java projects.

Other (pretty old) projects are here.

Blogging / Social

I have a programming blog at goto0.com.

I have another more personal blog (Cubelogic Improv) where I write about startups, corporations and ethics.

Sometimes I twitter.
