I’m anthony, aka clocksmith, co-founder of d4da.com. I was born as child # 3/3 in Hollywood, Florida in the late 80s. I was once very competitive in math and soccer, then went deep into Counter-Strike and WoW, then studied physics and computer science in college, and spent many years at Google NYC. I now live with my family in Brooklyn. I’ve always been a tinkerer at heart.
