I've tried to categorize myself many times, but my interests cover a wide range: woodworking, sewing, programming, backpacking, and many more. The best way I can think to categorize myself is as a do-it-yourself guy who loves learning new things.
Having said that, I am a professional software engineer. My career transitioned in 2018 and I continue to write code to this day.
To learn more about me, check out my about page. I also write here on my site.

I recently used ChatGPT to help implement a workflow to make it easier to post notes to my website. I can type a note and upload an image with a page on my site.
Posting the note submits a request to a Cloudflare Worker that has access to an image storage bucket and write access to my website repo. My site gets rebuilt and deployed within ~10 seconds with the new note so it's pretty close to real-time.
It has dramatically reduced the friction to make a note on my site, hopefully making my site feel more active!
For these garden signs I'm making, I ended up buying a brass stencil set and traced out the letters on strips of wood. I need to paint and clear-coat them next.
