About me
I'm a US-based software engineer. Here, have some buzzwords: Python, JavaScript (mostly Node.js, recovering front-end React/Redux), Clojure, Rust, Kubernetes, containers, devops, SRE, Linux, Neovim, i3wm. Currently running Arch as my daily driver, which I am obligated to announce whenever possible.
Not a fan of capitalism, cryptocurrency, fascism, racism, sexism or the current state of American politics. Would love to expat to Ireland someday.
Seeking ways to use tech to support a more equitable future. Intrigued at whether that can be done using p2p, decentralization, federation, and shared protocols instead of centralized, ad-driven, algorithm-powered services. Often tempted to self-host when viable open source options exist.
A longtime music enthusiast and occasional musician. Guitar, drums, esoteric electronics and computer-based music with Pure Data and VCV Rack. I DJ a weekly show on WXNA, a low-power FM, community-organized radio station in Nashville.
Also a husband and a parent to two kids, three dogs, several chickens, and a large vegetable garden where we’re slowly learning the art of permaculture.
