Hello. My name is Jon Pierce.

I'm a software developer and entrepreneur based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I founded BetaHouse, a coworking space for entrepreneurs, technologists and creatives.

I love startups, coworking, indie music and movies, and Mets baseball. I work mostly with Ruby, Python and JavaScript, often with Rails, Django and jQuery, and dabble with technologies like the iPhone SDK, Solr, Sphinx, Hadoop, XMPP and Erlang. I also wrote a lot of Java back in the day. I use a MacBook Pro, Linux servers and platforms like Amazon Web Services and Google App Engine. I like big data, visualizations, location-aware applications, social software and ubiquitous computing. I embrace open web standards like OpenID, OAuth, Portable Contacts and Microformats. I help organize events like BarCamp Boston and DevHouse Boston.

I can be found elsewhere on Twitter, Last.fm, Upcoming, Delicious, Flickr, Brightkite, Dopplr, Yelp, Disqus, FriendFeed, Facebook and LinkedIn.
