My name is Mel. I've been called a hacker by other hackers. I have a large piece of paper saying "Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering Bachelors of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering" and a small piece of paper saying "One Laptop Per Child QA/Support Engineer," but my favorite tags are from teammates: "Swiss Army Person" and "hack of all trades."
