David Hu

Who am I? No better place to start.

I am:

• a student:
  • I am a Computer Science student at Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science.
• a web developer:
  • I work as a computer programmer for Columbia University's School of Continuing Education.
  • I serve as webmaster for Hoot Magazine, Columbia's undergraduate fashion magazine.
  • I develop and maintain Hublog, my own personal blog.
• a writer:
  • I am a Daily Editor for Bwog, the undergraduate blog of Columbia University.

What can I do? Many things. These are just some of them.

I can use:

• Programming: XHTML/CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, ActionScript, Java
• Software, systems & tools: Mac OS X, Windows, Adobe Flash and Photoshop, WordPress

I can fiddle my way around:

• Programming: Ruby on Rails, jQuery, the Twitter API
• Software, systems & tools: Apache, Linux, LaTeX

I started web development as a young boy in middle school, just fiddling around with HTML and (then Macromedia—phew, it's been a while!) Flash. I gradually learned more about web technologies and other progamming languages, and I took my first computer science courses in high school.

I have been formally employed as a programmer and webmaster since 2009, and I expect to receive my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science in May 2013.

I never expect to stop programming or to quit my passion for technology.

Physically, I am currently located in New York, New York.

On the web, you can check me out at these places:

• Hublog — The weblog I wrote and maintain for myself and a small group of friends.
• Bwog — Columbia's undergraduate blog, where I am a Daily Editor and occasionally writer of longer features.
• Twitter — My handle is octopi. Follow me!

If you need to reach me, I'm always available via email.

Simply put: I love what I do, and I do what I love.

Why d.aweed.us?
My name in Latin is Davidus, pronounced "Da-wee-duhs;" hence, daweedus. Clever, huh? I knew those seven years of grade-school Latin would pay off.
