About

I've been programming professionally for over 23 years and on occasion have thoughts that I'd like to log for future reference. Also, I enjoy making illustrations and would like a place to store them. While I could use various social media platforms to do this I'd rather have a place which is more customizable and under my control. That is the purpose of this site.

I spend most of my time doing cloud architecture and implementation for my current employer. This typically involves some combination of the following tech:

• Java / Kotlin / Groovy / Clojure / Spring Boot
• .NET (4.8 Framework / 6.0+ Core)
• Node.js
• Angular / React
• TypeScript / JavaScript
• AWS (S3, RDS, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, SQS, Cloudformation, etc)
• Docker / Docker Compose
• Linux

But for my personal projects I'm typically messing around in:

• Raspberry Pi / Pico
• C / C++ / Python / PHP
• OpenGL / Vulkan
• GTK+

And anything else that seems interesting or useful.
