░ EXPERIENCE

2020-NOW:       development for Apple’s marketing and communications team on
                behalf of Critical Mass. I’ve worked on the iPhone and
                Vision Pro marketing pages and some internal sites. this
                translates to my a11y work benefitting the lives of millions.

2012-2019:      smattering of failed startups (IoT, YouTube “competitor”,
                Medium “competitor”, &c) and stints at dev shops/consultancies.

▒▒ EDUCATION

2008-NOW:       self‑taught in a recession and learned on the job ever since.
                Personal side projects deepen my understanding of technology and
                subject matter; business decisions are made in response to
                evolving market forces.

░ TOOLS

Bun:            because using SvelteKit with Deno involves hoops I have no
                interest jumping through, I gotta use something and Bun fills
                that need well.

Claude:         waaaaay better than ChatGPT. Unlike StackOverflow, get answers
                without judgement and become more capable with crazier ideas.

Deno:           interop with Node.js without any Node.js nonsense? AND native
                TypeScript support?! Sign me up!

Gel:            previously known as EdgeDB, Gel is the database for people who
                don’t want to think about databases. I’m not a computer so why
                would I memorize and write SQL? No thanks.

GraphQL:        i don’t like Facebook but bless them for creating GraphQL. Holy
                moly, can you imagine using REST for everything? Yuck.

Procreate:      THE reason I purchased the first iPad Pro & Apple Pencil. I
                don’t use Sketch, Figma, &c for my designs, I sketch in
                Procreate to form a mental model and I develop from there.

SvelteKit:      this JavaScript framework feels great to use, it’s the closest
                to writing web standard code, if that makes sense.

Transmit:       using CI/CD pipelines to autodeploy sites and services sound
                like a blast…I’m still SSH’ing into servers and I often need
                SFTP to sanity check my janky deploy scripts.

Zed:            built-in type-checking is just fantastic. I still love Sublime
                but like, they need to up their game.
