About
I'm Eliot and I work as a Software Engineer in Southern California. I'm a wannabe computer geek, Asian American, husband, and Christian in reverse order of importance. My friend, Bill, coined the name, Salty Crane, as a code for my name. I also try to be salty. I have a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering and had planned to pursue a career in Robotics. Instead, I switched to software in 2003. I worked with C and embedded software for several years then made a bigger jump to web development in 2008. I currently work at a media startup, scripting Python and administering web servers "in the cloud". I enjoy programming and try to continually learn as much as possible. In my spare time, I like to use the computer and play sports.
