Doing what I can where I can helping build a fun game that gets you outside and exploring your world.
Hey, I'm Derek! Currently living in Sacramento working as an Software Developer for Gowalla.
I enjoy building and creating for the web. Some of my software work can be found on github. I lightly post thoughts on twitter (or mastodon), gifs of interactions I make on dribbble and photography on exposure.
