Hi. I'm Daniel Huckstep.

I'm software engineer (EIT) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I enjoy all kinds of programming, except assembly, which is the bane of my existence.

• University of Alberta graduate (Software Engineering, 2009)

• APEGA Engineer-in-Training

• Blogger (technical and other)

• Gamer (PC, Xbox, DS)

• Mountain Biker

• Musician (Guitar)

• Rocker of dreadlocks (since 2003)

• Keeper of many pets (various reptiles, some birds, and a ferret)

• Movie critic

I enjoy good food, better wine, quality cigars, and badass pipes. I work hard and play hard. I get the job done, and get it done right, the first time. I speak my mind and listen when others speak theirs.

I work for Yardstick
