Brian Gilham

Hi, I'm Brian. I'm an iOS developer. I live in Toronto with my wife and my dog. I work at TWG. I like to work on side projects in my spare time.

Here's what I'm up to now. I rate the books I read and share photos, sometimes.

You can send me an email, if you feel like getting in touch. I'm also on Twitter.

I write about programming, productivity, motivation, and whatever else comes to mind.
