My name is Brian Pipa and I'm a code monkey, a geek, a husband, a dad, and a gamer (but not necessarily in that order). Some info about me:

• I have been coding for over 25 years, mostly in Java.
• I co-founded a company called Brainy Atom, LLC in 2006 where I wrote Ruby on Rails code for our sites like Teenormous. I sold my half of the company in 2012.
• Sometimes I ramble at my blog - MyVogonPoetry.
• I'm a huge Douglas Adams fan. I even own two domains (MyVogonPoetry.com and Gruntbug.com, that are references to his work/quotes.
• I used to get paid to review PC games. I wrote for Avault, Gamesmania, etc. I even went to E3 as press!

• My "just for fun" coding projects are tracked at Pipasoft.com.
• My public github projects
• In 2023 I launched OverReader to search for your Goodreads books on Overdrive/Libby and on Kindle Unlimited
• In 2022 I created Customizer Corner to aggregate action figure customizer sites and products.
• In 2008 I Launched Geek Crafts< - a blog about... geek crafts
• In 2005 I started a candy blog called Candy Addict and at one point it was ranked on the front page of Google when searching for candy. It's pretty much dead now, but was a fun ride.

My resume is online. I'm always willing to entertain Java opportunities.
If you feel the need to email me, you can email me at this domain - I'll let you figure out the email address (HINT: brian).
