About Blue Static

Blue Static is an open source software development shop started in May 2006. The site was started after I took down my previous website and released all the projects there under the GNU GPL. I am committed to open source and believe strongly in free software. Blue Static specializes in desktop Mac applications and standards-compliant web applications.

About Me

My name is Robert Sesek and I'm a twenty-something living in Manhattan. Though I'm originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, after I attended Boston University I liked the east coast so much I decided to stay. I was an active member of the Chromium open source project until Google hired me to work on it full-time. I have now been working on Google Chrome/Chromium for more than two years, doing all things Mac. I have more than ten years of development experience and am fluent in numerous programming languages and environments including PHP, C, C++, Objective-C/Cocoa (both Touch and Mac), Python, Bash, CSS/HTML, JavaScript, Go, and Java.

I don't have many hobbies outside of computing, but I enjoy photography. I've been using my Nikon D200 for the past half-decade and take mostly landscapes and cityscapes. I like experimenting with motion and light both in still-frame and video photography. I am a long-time Mac user; my first Mac was the original five-flavor iMac that ran Mac OS 8.6. Currently, I use a unibody MacBook Pro and have a 2 Terabyte Drobo external array.
