About Me

I'm been programming since I was 15, professionally for the last 20+ years. I'm a boring programmer who likes to keep things simple.

I enjoy working in typed statically compiled languages that support functional flavored programming, however Ruby is my bread-and-butter. Though primarily a web developer, I am also comfortable working in relatively low level local application development.

I write at my personal website about things that interest me - mostly tech, career programming and adjacent topics.

Interests

I'm interested in pretty much all aspects of the technicals of software development, and have a specific passion around tooling and boilerplate elimination.

Specifically, I'm fascinated with creating rich experience using nothing but bits in automated ways, which draws me to:

• Computer graphics
• Generative AI
• Audio synthesis/multi-media synthesis
• Developer tooling/automation
• Literate programming/alternate programming ideas
• IDEs

Professional Experience

• 20+ years of Javascript in all platforms and flavors (Node/Typescript inclusive)
• 14 years of Ruby on Rails in local IT tooling, telehealth, and insurance industries
• 6 years of C# in e-commerce and public safety/UAVs
• 1 year of Clojure in IT tooling

Non-professional Experience

• Python in data analysis, AI, web development, and CLI tooling
• Golang in local dev tooling, and web tooling
• C++ in computer graphics, game development, and agentic AI
• Rust in computer graphics

Controversial

• Vim
• spaces
