Big welcome woof and round of apaws to our newest software engineer, Jesse Proulx. Jesse’s a PHP, CSS and AJAX stud who was most recently working at Six Apart working with the LiveJournal team. In fact Jesse had worked with Brad Fitzpatrick, LiveJournal’s founder as part of the Danga Interactive team since he was the third employee in 2001, and came to San Francisco as part of the LJ aquisition by SixApart in 2005.

Jesse’s deep experience in building community web features for a thriving community are already being put to great use and we’re thrilled to have him as part of the team. He’s also the proud dad of two great dogs (Logan, and Rummel) and knows exactly why people love our sites and why we’re profoundly excited to make them so much better.
