David Hand

All-around helpful guy, David has been working on the organizer team all year, doing whatever needed to be done. Additionally, he has been the primary liaison between TPC and Infinity Interactive, as they worked to develop this year’s conference app.

David has been programming Perl professionally since 1999. Formerly known as ‘cogent’, he adopted the handle ‘Ptolemarch’ after being led astray at St. John’s College. He would like to remind you that heliocentrism is just a theory. This is David’s third year serving as a TPC organizer.
