ABOUT ME
I'd love to share what I know and help you succeed.
I'd love to share what I know and help you succeed.

I try to check my messages at least once a day M-F . . . if you need availability outside of that window, I can probably make it happen on request. If your project is a school or university assignment, I ask that you link me to the syllabus and your institution's academic integrity policy.

I take pride in being familiar with a variety of tools and paradigms. Whether you're just starting out, branching into a new technique, or marching through a large project, I'd love to share what I know and help you succeed.

My university background was in Computer Science and Math Education. I also have eight years of industry experience as well as practice with up-and-coming technologies like Rust and Web Assembly.

After I left university I felt frustrated with the "same-ness" of all of the programming languages I had been exposed to and wanted to learn something new and different. After exploring a lot of different languages, including D, Lisp, and ML, I was lucky enough to have free time to devote to learning Haskell.

Over time I've worked with a few different OpenGL bindings (as well as Unity and Godot), but when I wanted to get back into 3D more recently the simplicity and flexibility of Three.js made it a no-brainer.

After a few years working with C/C++ I decided not to put up with memory unsafety unless there was a very, very good reason. That was almost 20 years ago and for the most part I've kept that vow! Rust is the language I've always dreamed of. It's an exciting time to be alive! Right now almost all of my rust experience is on the Web Assembly / wasm-bindgen side of things.

During my last two years at Web Performance, Inc I proposed and was given the go-ahead to develop a next-generation version of our product using JavaScript and Node.js. We levereged express, react, LokiDB and CouchDB. Sadly I'm no longer working on that project but JavaScript is so ubiquitous in so many situations that I still use it every day. I think that JavaScript has been a fascinating development in software engineering in-so-much as it has brought together talent from industry, academia, government and education to all contribute to a single programming language and environment.
