Welcome to my personal website. My name is Bjørn Townsend; I live in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle with my fiancé Allyson and am owned by a small orange cat. I am a software engineer working on a cloud computing project at VMware, and my work there focuses on security and authentication.

In my (rare) spare time I try to write science fiction; I am presently trying to sell a short story called "Bug Hunt". If you're interested in reading it, email me and I'll send you a copy.
