I have been a software professional since I was in high school in 1998. I'm enthusiastic about open source, and I really enjoy working in unusual software systems or within strange constraints.

modexec

This is a Perl library I developed a while ago that allows you to more directly (and more securely) execute Perl libraries using JavaScript and AJAX. This code is crazy-old, I think I wrote it around 2005.

Perl

Programming-Utilities-Distribution

Programming Utilities written for quicker development processes. Distributed in one big package. All GPL. This was one of my first ever pieces of Free Software, certainly the first thing I ever released on my own having a component in C.

C

Primary languages are JavaScript, Rust, C, Objective-C, Bash, Perl, and a bit of Java. I work hard to keep my people safe and productive at scale.

Every day is a school day! I'm learning something new every day, and I invite you to learn and share what you've learned.

I spend most of my time hacking in Node or Python for work, some Perl, some Rust, and the occasional bit of C.

I love to chat, I love to join in collaborative hackathons, too. I like to write and give talks, too.
