Dennis Mojado is a curious and continually fascinated software engineer. He specializes in Internet applications and networked systems, having worked in the software development industry for over 12 years. He currently works in San Francisco as a Tech Lead for Squaretrade. Prior to this, he was a Web Applications Manager at the University of California, Berkeley working in a unit of Undergraduate Student Affairs called Residential and Student Service Programs.

He has helped build web startups that still profit today, survived the "dot-bomb" while helping companies come out better, and has traveled internationally in the name of the mobile revolution. 

Outside of the office, Dennis is into old school (film) photography, enjoys long distance running, camping, rock climbing, field recording, and of course, caffeinated coding.

Motto: Caffeinate and create!

Caffeinatedcode.com started out in 2000 as a custom-built router/server hosted at home on a CyberMax beige tower over a static DSL line. It was pre-wiki, but was intended to be a repository of easily forgotten information: Solaris x86 configuration notes, Oracle admin SQL scripts, unix shell scripts, java code snippets; and also stored some disaster recovery utilities for easy accessibility.

This site's original About page said:

Sipping my coffee, I thought, "Man, this is some intense caffeinated code!". The idea stuck and within a day, caffeinatedcode.com was registered.

Caffeinated Code now resides on a fairly buff system in a high-availability colocation facility. It is a server in The RealSoonNow.net Colo Cooperative, an equal-share co-op run by a group of amazingly smart engineers.

The Cool Beans blog aims to keep coders and Internet server geeks informed about application development challenges and security issues.
