How to Get In Touch
Why not Facebook/Twitter?
For completeness' sake, I do have accounts on Twitter/X and Facebook, but my profiles there are minimal and/or protected. Both of these platforms have recently lacked acceptable moderation, demonstrated problematic views torward data privacy, and have become actively hostile towards their users. I've kept these accounts out of necessity, both to aid clients, and protect my idenity from account name hijacking.

Ultimately, I can't claim sole ownership of everything presented here, but these projects are ones that I have made significant contributions to (and in many cases still provide development and maintenance services for).

About Me
I'm a multi-discipline full-stack developer who's been focused on getting the most out of modern web technologies. But just developing a website, library, or piece of software isn't enough— It's essential to understand the end-users, and properly take into account how a site, app, or technology will affect them. People have a right to privacy, and making software inclusive and accessible should always be an essential part of the development process.
I also believe in free and open-source software. Working together I believe we can make lives better for everyone, including disadvantaged or persecuted groups, people with disabilities, and society as a whole. The possiblities are limitless and the potential is there for computers and the internet to keep changing our lives in incredibly positive ways.
Somehow this mindset has led me to several incredible communities, that I've worked to improve and expand. Discord, and Mastodon are just a couple, but in the past I've been a part of and hosted Minecraft servers, forums, game development clubs, and more. This has let me connect with people from all over the world and expand my knowledge and skills.
In my free time, I enjoy collecting and playing retro games, and trying to make them shine on modern equipment. I'm an aspiring writer, and I wrote a novel for NaNoWriMo 2014 (it unfortunately still needs to be heavily edited, and hasn't been published). I share my home in New Westminster, BC with a fantastic partner, and two adorable cats, and enjoy the usual perks of being a resident of British Columbia such as biking, hiking, swimming, and exploring everything that Vancouver and our province has to offer.
