About
I’m a frontend/fullstack engineer, currently based in the American Midwest. I use design and code to help people.
I’ve spent the last 12 years building web products for startups, Fortune 500 companies, Stanford University, The White House, and other great organizations.
I’m always working on some sort of side-project. My work has been featured in Morning Brew, Smashing Magazine, and Lifehacker. This is what I’m working on now.
I like to share what I’m learning through writing, speaking, and open-source.
These are the principles that help me make decisions.
I’m a husband and father. I’m INTJ and LDS. When I’m not writing code or tweaking fonts, you can find me listening to audiobooks, practicing the piano, or building lego worlds with my kids.
Social
If I don’t already know you, you should email me and introduce yourself. Just do it!
This site
This site is built with Jekyll and hosted on Github Pages. You can subscribe to the following pages in your feed reader:
The site and logo were designed by me. The main fonts are PT Sans and PT Serif. The social media icons were made by Swifticons. There’s also a styleguide.
All the code is open-source and available on Github, released under the MIT license. All content is licensed with a Creative Commons Attribution License (BY 4.0), unless otherwise noted. If you find anything you can improve about this site, please submit a pull request.
AI Usage
The content of this website is written by me. I do not use AI to generate the text you are reading because writing from scratch helps me process my thoughts (which is one of the main reasons I blog in the first place). I don’t currently use AI-powered writing tools (grammar-check, spell-check, dictation tools, etc), but I may experiment with them as long as they don’t undermine the thinking process.
The code for this website was originally hand-written, but I have since used AI to make several useful updates. I expect to continue using AI to write code for this website and other personal coding projects. When I create a public project exclusively with AI, I mention that fact in the project README.
