About

Systems administrator and developer. Small sharp tools, boring infrastructure, and shipping.

My day job is line-of-business systems administration. I’ve been a hobby coder since the ’90s, but it’s only in the last five years or so that I’ve really leaned in.

PowerShell is where it got serious — as a desktop tech I wrote scripts to back up user profiles and patch Adobe Reader across hundreds of remote machines in parallel. From there: hand-coded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with detours through jQuery, React, and Vue.

Then Python, and Django. I’m a heavy notebook user too — Jupyter and Marimo, with Pandas, Polars, and DuckDB as an in-memory engine for on-the-fly data wrangling. Mixing those together is my favourite way to work.

Lately I’ve been grinding hard on C# and the .NET landscape: recent projects are .NET 9/10 Razor Pages, Blazor, and MudBlazor apps on an IIS / SQL Server stack.

This site is a change of scenery from all that — Python and Flask on a plain Linux box: nginx, systemd, Postgres, TLS from Let’s Encrypt, deploys on git push.

Outside of code: disc golf, video games, and a small white maltipoo named Tofu.
