Mitch Pirtle

I start companies (currently CTO at Sounday), build things, learn, and teach. Scale, simplicity, and speed are my game. I'm also into family, skateboarding, snowboarding, cycling, making music, cooking, wine, design, and both football and the other football.

Heavy contributor and promoter of open source software, primarily MongoDB and Lithium. On the hook for books on both, to be finished in 2012.
