who

I'm a software developer. I run Linux on everything I can get away with, I self-host more services than I need, and I keep building small tools that solve problems only I have. I have a soft spot for emulators, microcontrollers, and anything that boots into a blinking cursor.

I post rarely on my blog. I try not post on social media much (without a drink). If you want to talk, email is the surest way to reach me.

stack

Things I actually use day-to-day. The list grows faster than I can keep this updated.

python primary
javascript web + bots
html / css obviously
shell daily driver
c / c++ when I have to
vue occasionally

interests

  • *nix and self-hosting — Pi, Proxmox, whatever
  • emulators (Cemu, Citra, DeSmuME, the usual suspects)
  • IoT — ESP8266, RP2040, insane sensors from China
  • 3D printing & Blender
  • browser extensions, web scraping, automation
  • Pokemon, hence the random autobattler
