ABOUT ME

Curious Coder, Freelance Web Developer. Corporate Refugee.

Riaz Virani is a bum (err...freelance developer) living in Toronto working on the next great thing. He was until recently the CTO at LoadUp but is currently working on Listeri, a radically simple way to share screenshots. While Ruby is his original love, the exciting developments in JavaScript always beckon his curiosity. Riaz is also an avid movie and history buff. You can read more of his musings at riazv.me.
