Well, hello there! My name is Christian Heilmann and my job is being the principal technical evangelist at Mozilla. If you don't know what an evangelist is, here's a handbook on developer evangelism. This is my portfolio of work this year and last. Please return frequently for updates.
If you wish to contact me, make sure to check my blog, follow and ping me on Twitter (codepo8), contact me on Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Foursquare or find me on IRC (mozilla.org, freenet) as codepo8. My photos are on Flickr and a lot of presentations on slideshare. I also post videos on YouTube and code on GitHub.
