About

I’m a Web Developer with an interest in independent web sites and applications, data portability, and user interfaces. I have a resume I created using the excellent Resume Builder with information from my LinkedIn profile. My email address can be found on my GitHub profile.

My largest projects so far have been a CRM system and a directory of locations. While developing them I saw the challenges in reusing software. I see content managements with wiki features, administrative interfaces, version control systems that integrate into applications, and document-oriented databases as solutions. I have a concept of a wiki for data, or a semantic wiki, as a way to more quickly build data applications for the web. I am researching in this area and building things like outliner.js, a JSON diff/patch tool, and a generic Resource Infobox plugin. I have an open source profile page that shows what I’m currently working on.

I’m an advocate of free and open source software. I am preparing for the Open Source Bridge Conference and the Indie Web Camp next June. This blog is powered by WordPress running on a VPS, with some custom plugins. I’m not as opinionated about which programming stack to use as I used to be, but I’m more opinionated than ever about what I ought to be allowed to do with my own computers.

I’m active in the tech community in Boulder. I go to events like Boulder Ruby User Group, BoulderJS, Ignite Boulder, and TEDxBoulder.

Besides programming, my interests include product design, traveling, cycling, literature, and music.
