Operator's
manual.
/ Background
I'm a software engineer with 0+ years of experience building web apps, developer tools, and the unglamorous middle layers that keep systems honest.
/ Care about
- ›Performance & correctness over speed of shipping
- ›Honest design — no dark patterns, no tracking pixels
- ›Writing clearly about complicated things
- ›The boring parts that make things last
/ Currently
Writing software for a living. Writing about software for myself. Reading too much. Available for interesting problems and the right kind of trouble.
