I have been very active on Programmers.SE very nearly since it first went public. I've watched the site grow, evolve, and become more focused.

I have an excellent track record of answers (most with score above zero and none below zero at the time of me writing this). I strive to provide meaningful answers even to questions that encourage one-liners. This proves my dedicate to participating on this site and making it a better place for questions and answers on general software development topics.

I have been backseat modding for the last few weeks, greeting new participants and helping improve or close questions as needed. I'm not afraid to upvote or downvote when deserved and to engage in constructive discussions in comments. I've been ramping up my participation on the meta site, both here and on SO itself. I monitor the tools available to me daily and check the site even when I don't have a lot of time to spend on contributing new answers.

If elected, my goals as a moderator would be to uphold and further evolve the standards and direction of the site by continuing to monitor questions, direct new users to existing FAQs and resources, and step in where needed while still letting the community do the bulk of sorting itself out.

In my mind moderation is best done in moderation, and I look forward to serving this community to the best of my ability.
