Scott Lerch

I'm a software engineer who does cloud-service stuff at Microsoft. On the side I occasionally build mobile games, desktop tools, and web apps. Now and then I'll race an endurance event, head out backpacking, or just sit around playing video games. I live in San Mateo, California, with my wife, two kids, and three cats.
