Gary Hockin travels all over the world empowering developers as a Developer Evangelist for Twilio (fine purveyors of communication APIs). He is a talented and evocative speaker, a cultivated author of impressively entertaining blog posts, and records elegant and informative screencasts and videos. Gary's also an avid contributor to open source. When Gary had a real job, he was a developer of at least "competent" standard with over 25 years experience. When not developing, speaking about developing, reading about developing or writing about developing, Gary enjoys playing computer games and arguing with his two kids. Gary has recently discovered that people ask speakers to write their own biography text, and you can get away with writing pretty much anything you want.
