With a tremendous hunger to expand his technical expertise, Arthur has been pursuing various open source trends in the web development industry. From the advent of APIs and mash-ups to social networking, the explosion in the availability of multimedia to trends away from PHP as the defacto web programming language, Arthur has eagerly expanded his computing horizons. After performing a number of large data migrations and working on a few API projects, he's discovered his love for finding ways to make square pegs fit into round holes.

Arthur has been fascinated by computers and mechanics for as long as he can remember. He wrote his first program in BASIC as a child and published his first website at 13. As he grew older, his social curiosity and passion for justice led him to community organizing for human rights and economic justice in his hometown of Tucson, Arizona. He left Arizona for Oberlin College in Ohio with intentions of studying viola performance, but wound up focusing in the humanities. While at Oberlin, Arthur made ends meet working as a computing consultant for students and faculty at the college.

In September of 2005, Arthur took an emergency leave of absence from Oberlin to work with Common Ground Relief, a grassroots organization in New Orleans, LA. Common Ground came to existence in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to fill voids in New Orleans' infrastructure. In the days after Hurricane Rita, Arthur helped establish the first supply chain of grassroots emergency aid and the eventual formation of community center in Houma, LA. Towards the end of 2005, Arthur salvaged a bunch of computers from the streets of New Orleans. After testing and repairs, he used what worked to establish a community computing center in the 8th Ward of New Orleans. With no electricity in the neighborhood, the center was initially powered with salvaged solar panels and a small gasoline powered generator. Making use of a donated cellular broadband card, Arthur managed to connect the computing center to the internet, providing free access to New Orleans residents and Common Ground volunteers.

Arthur returned to school in 2006 where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in history. He moved to San Francisco where he's pursued an avid outdoor lifestyle and made a living in various roles as a software developer and open source evangelist.
