About Me
I live in San Francisco and work as a Chief Technology Officer for small to medium sized web companies leading technical teams of 3-15 people. I love the mix of team leadership and working as a hands-on contributor. My technical passions include Ruby, Scala, Java, Cloud Computing, and open-source software.
I also love to sail and my wife, daughter, and I sailed out the Golden Gate in 2007 on our 38 foot Hans Christian cutter (sailboat) on a 3 year cruise. Read about it at http://sailsugata.com.

Hosting
I use DreamHost for hosting small personal sites. They are a mixed bag as all shared hosting providers are but for the price and storage they can't be beat. If you choose to signup use promo code GABRITO to save $50 on your first year.
For bigger websites which require load balancing, numerous app servers, database replication, CDN, etc I use the Amazon Cloud Services.
