Simon Batistoni

Flickr

Simon is still surprised that he’s a software engineer, despite the fact that he’s been doing it for 8 years now.

After a varied career involving Estate Agents, internet radio, amateur writers, fine art, international websearch and babelfish, Simon joined Flickr in late 2006 as the site’s lead internationalisation engineer.

Simon currently lives in San Francisco, and posts uselessly infrequent updates to his blog, hitherto.net
