My name is Chu Yeow and I read a lot and occasionally watch too much anime.

I've made some measly contributions back to the Open Source community, mostly to Ruby on Rails (I'm the 108th top contributor to Rails, and have also won a monthly Rails Hackfest). I've also contributed patches to jQuery (via Sizzle), Thin, Merb, curb and Homebrew. I wish I had more discipline to roll out polished Rubygems, but I don't so my only published Rubygem so far is Facon, a lightweight mocking and stubbing ruby library.

I also wrote Firefox Secrets (yes, a book on the Mozilla Firefox web browser) in 2005 during the early days of the second browser wars. I consider the book a bit of a relic and am happy that today, all browser makers regard web standards as non-negotiable.

I am the CTO of Wego.com. It's my first executive role in a scale up and I'm learning every day.

Me, elsewhere
