Most of you are familiar with the virtues of a programmer. There are three, of course: laziness, impatience, and hubris. - Larry Wall

Hi, I'm Jack Killilea. I'm a SWE based in the Northern Virginia / Washington D.C Metro Area.

I've written Javascript since forever. I'm trying to branch out from that. Nowadays I'm working on HouseGuessr and The Public Tab.
