I'm Juan Robert Patten, but call me what my friends do: J.R. (yeah, like the show).
I'm a hacker, banjo-player, mountain-lover, rambler, writer, and part-time yuppie.
But most importantly, I love to make things. Well-crafted, useful things that are delightful to use. Hopefully. I especially love making cool things by combining simple components in clever ways.
I'm passionate about how we can use technology to change the world, and I love to talk about it if you want to chat.
