About Gabriel Dayley

Gabriel Dayley

I am a software developer, innovator, father and husband. I didn't invent the web, HTTP, JavaScript or even rounded corners. I haven't written a book (yet) or any draft specifications but I do enjoy the challenge of pushing the limits of technology. I am passionate about spending time with my family, learning everything, messing with technology and evangelizing America's pastime.

I currently work as a Software Architect for the LDS Church where I have been influential in pushing the web as a strong platform for building applications. I am the founder and current manager of the Utah Google Developer Group where I enjoy interacting with other individuals who are passionate about learning technology. I have over a decade of experience as a developer and a B.S in Computer Science from Utah Valley University.

I am grateful to those many who have shared their knowledge, experience and criticism with me along the way. I believe the Web is incredibly successful because it is an open platform and learning should follow in that same spirit. I look forward to sharing what I have learned with you, but most of all I look forward to learning from you.
