Hi, I'm Don Pottinger.
I love building things with computers. At 10 years old, I wrote my first program using BASIC. I built my first computer when I was 12 years old.

Now, I'm a co-founder of LanguaTalk, a language learning platform, and an engineering manager at Google.
I live in Atlanta with my amazing wife and kids. For fun, I play too much soccer and follow my favorite clubs, FC Barcelona and Arsenal F.C.
