About

What up, yo!

I'm David Snopek, a software developer and language learning enthusiast living in Milwaukee, WI, USA.

I have a full-time day job developing software in Perl and Javascript with the occasional projects in Python, Java or C. By night I contribute to Open Source/Free Software, including (but not limited to!):

• POE::Component::MessageQueue - A message queue in Perl that communicates over the STOMP protocol.
• Memorati™ - An online flash card system written in Python and Javascript.
• Dojo - A JavaScript toolkit.

I am obsessed with foreign languages and cultures. I love to travel and see the world. I've been studying Russian and Polish language for a long time and am always trying to improve my proficiency in both. I am interested in the process of language learning and how that process can be improved through the use of computers and the internet.

And this is my blog.
