About Me #

I'm a senior software developer at PortalMedia, where I mostly build stuff in TypeScript, Vue, C#, and React Native. Programming is my hobby as well as my job. Outside of work, I like to dabble in lots of different tech. I'm comfortable in React and Svelte in addition to Vue and I've spent time with Emacs Lisp, Haskell, Rust, Go, Scheme and a smattering of other languages.

Random Thoughts/Opinions #

• Front-end is my specialty, but I fancy myself to be fairly well-rounded.
• CSS is awesome
• Accessibility benefits everyone
• I prefer to write functional or procedural style code, but am pragmatic about OO where sensible.
• Lisp dialects and JavaScript (when I can't use TypeScript) are the only dynamically-typed languages I care to write, these days.
• I couldn't survive without Vim keybindings. Emacs is my favorite Vim.
• More people ought to use Firefox.

Some Stuff I've Worked on in Recent Years #

• Architected and developed significant portions of a custom ecommerce platform.
• Introduced TypeScript in two large front-end codebases which now constitutes a majority of the code written in both.
• Built a Vue server-side-rendering system on top of webpack and AWS Lambda, integrated with an existing .NET backend.
• Wrote a custom Emacs major mode for Vue using the tree-sitter integration in 29+: vue-ts-mode. Usable to the point that it's my daily-driver for Vue development at work
