About me

I’m an American-Canadian software designer and design engineer with about 8 years experience. I enjoy working on tight, experimental projects with nimble and competent teams.

I wear many hats and have been lucky to do so with some great folks at start-ups over my career: Teal, The Game Band (of Blaseball fame/infamy), Bench Accounting, and SEDNA Systems, to name a few.

Outside of work, I’m an obsessive cook, baker, wine nerd, amateur boxer, and voracious reader. On the side, I am a teaching assistant with This is Wine School . I also run a little wine bar pop up in Vancouver called KISS Wine Bar. If you happen to be in the neighbourhood next time one is happening, you should check it out.

My 'headshot'

Links

I enjoy hopping in large, aerodynamic flying cylinders to travel and take every opportunity to do so. I maintain a sprawling list of a few hundred places around the world that I either recommend or want to go to. I don’t curate it for others, but some have found it helpful: The List™ .

I also have a deep love of music and making playlists. (I like lists, can you tell?) Here are a few of my favourites:

Contact

I exist around the internet, though largely as a lurker.

Colophon

This site is built on NextJS, deployed to Vercel, using wonderful tools like Framer Motion and TailwindCSS. The type is set to Polymath by OH no Type Co and Untitled Sans and Tiempos Text both by Klim Type Co.

Is this overkill for what amounts to a micro-blog site that barely anyone will see? Yes.

Do I care? No.
