Me

My name is Vic Fryzel. I'm a Google engineer and open source software developer in the United States. At Google, I work on the Google Apps APIs and a number of things involved with maintaining them. I speak publicly about these APIs on a somewhat regular basis. I also travel a lot (albeit usually for work). In 2011 alone, I traveled 94,359 miles to 29 cities in 10 countries.

My past and current associations include:

  • Google
  • eBaum Nation
  • eBaum's World, ZVUE
  • Paychex, Inc.
  • Newegg, Inc.
  • IBM
  • ModernGigabyte, LLC.

  • Gentoo Linux (retired developer)
  • Lighttpd
  • KDE (minor contributions)
  • gedit
  • and others I'm forgetting...
