About
A fullstack web engineer with experience with lots of different programming languages and frameworks, who specialises in distributed tech where user agency takes precedence.
Career
- Freelance Software Engineer
During this time I've been doing freelance work for various people and companies. I focused on distributed computing work initially, but now doing all kinds of web and software development work.
- Software Engineer at Fission (Codes)
At this startup I was responsible for the building out the SDK with examples, implementing a protocol called UCAN, adding features to the API, and building web applications that consumed the SDK. This is where my distributed computing and cryptography journey began.
- Web Engineer at MetaLab, Ltd.
Here I made websites and web applications of various sizes, both frontend and backend. This included things such as creating an entirely custom CMS from scratch, writing complex database queries, making beautiful websites, and the occasional React Native.
- Web Engineer at Mr. Henry
At my first job I built accessible design-heavy websites along with some playful canvas animations, backed with the in-house Ruby CMS system, along with other backends written in Golang and PHP.

Projects
A project I've been working on since before the beginning of my career. It's taken a lot of different shapes, but still revolves around the same core idea: listen to your audio files from the cloud or your machine. The latest iteration is local-first, cooperative and malleable software.
A library I wrote in several languages. It allows you to build static websites, among other things, without confirming to a specific directory structure.
This is the SDK I was responsible for back when I worked for a startup called Fission. It allowed for fully distributed web application without requiring a custom backend.
