About
Hi, I’m Maura. I’m a twenty-ish-year-old web developer and female human being. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, where I build the internets.
I was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and grew up in nearby Fairhaven, a small and historical town where I participated in Girl Scouts and feasted on linguica and corn muffins. My family moved to Franklin, Tennessee, about twenty miles outside of Nashville, when I was twelve. I have a degree in Computer Science (English minor) from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
My non-technical interests include Baseball (Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox), Football (Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons) and occasionally Hockey (Nashville Predators). Besides sports I also enjoy running (slowly), healthy cooking, pretending I know anything about wine and beer, indie movies and bands that don’t even exist yet.
My technical interests include web development (obviously), web standards, clean, usable design and sustainable programming practices. I am a huge fan of Apple, OpenID and Django.
