Until I get my own Wikipedia page, this’ll have to do.  I’m a Southerner by birth, born in Danville, Kentucky.  I went to Washington University in Saint Louis, graduated, and moved to San Francisco.  I’ve worked for Flickr and OpenDNS, spoken on scalability, and nerded out over many a beer.  In February 2010 I started DevStructure.  I can always be reached directly at r@rcrowley.org.
