James Morris Nachlin


Only Compute.

I am a professional programmer and bicycle security consultant. I currently work full time at Six Apart, developing social content management systems and custom web sites. I have recently worked at About.com as a perl developer, and on a playlisting project called Webjay, within Yahoo! Music, where I oversaw all aspects of integrating the project into the larger Yahoo! Music platform and vision, and at Buzzfeed where I created and built a project to track trends by analyzing text from blogs. At Gawker, I was the sole in-house technology specialist during their transition from one server handling hundreds of thousands of hits / day to a horizontally scaled system handling several million. I am also the creator of garbagescout.
