Quick Bio

My name is Pelle Braendgaard and I live in San Francsico. I was born in 1970 in North Carolina, but grew up in Denmark. I am happily married to Leticia who is from Panama.

I speak English, Danish, Spanish and used to be fluent in German a long time ago.

My main interests are web technology, crypto, Ruby on Rails, startups, economics, libertarianism, travel, food, drink and music.

Being a chronic immigrant means that I have lived in and worked in a variety of different countries: The US, Denmark, England (and Wales), British Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Jamaica and Panama. I asume that when I eventually get called up by that great garbage collector in the sky, I will have added a bunch of other places on that list.

I like a broad range of music. People tend to tell me that my musical tastes are odd. I like Reggae (Jamaican and Panamanian), RnB, Hip Hop, House, Salsa, Merengue, some Reggaeton (mainly the Bachata inspired stuff like Don Omar), Bossa Nova, Samba, Jazz, Electronica etc. I’m not particularly keen on rock, but I do have some exceptions.
