About the Author

I am @owocki, but my real name is Kevin Owocki. I am a software engineer by profession. I've been experimenting with web projects since 1999, when I ran a web company out of my parents house in Pennsylvania, USA.

I am hacking, learning, and writing about the intersection of health, technology, design, & lifestyle. I've dabbled in some Python, PHP, Postgres, Objective C, Rails, & Javascript in my day, but am interested in mediums beyond code too; especially photography, audio, and the written word. Nowadays, I am interested in next generation technologies, especially machine learning, computer vision, VR, AR, & plenoptic photography. If you are too, send me an @ to say what's up on twitter:
