paul straw

Paul has spent much of his life in the Sierra Mountains of eastern California, but was born and raised in the Silicon Valley, which means his tools of choice are an Apple Magic Mouse and a 50 lb. axe suitable to only the burliest of lumberjacks. After developing his first website at the age of nine, he quickly realized that he’d stumbled across his life’s true passion. He continued to hone his skills for several years as a front-end developer — learning to use JavaScript and CSS3 as MacGyver would use a hairpin and stick of bubble gum for each escape — before joining us as our primary developer.
