Hi. I’m Leah Culver and I’m not a terribly good writer. I was a co-founder and the lead developer of a social network, Pownce, which helped you send stuff to your friends online. I’m now a software engineer at Six Apart, which acquired and closed down Pownce in November of 2008.
I grew up in a Bloomington, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis and I graduated from the U of M after a good five years (well, 4.5) with a degree in computer science and a minor in art.
These days, when I’m not coding for work, I like to travel, hack on OAuth, drink a Diet Coke, or drive around in my ‘91 VW Jetta.

Here’s my press bio:
Leah Culver was a co-founder and the lead developer of the social network and micro-blogging website Pownce, which was acquired by blog juggernaut Six Apart in November 2008. Now a software engineer at Six Apart, Leah uses her experience with Pownce to develop large scale social applications for future Six Apart projects. While creating the Pownce API she co-authored both the OAuth and OEmbed open API specifications and now maintains the popular Python OAuth library. Leah promotes open source, APIs, and the Django web framework on her blog at leahculver.com. In her free time she likes to play around with new technology and try new restaurants near her home in San Francisco.
