Welcome to my GitHub. Here you will be able to find all the projects I work on while streaming. If you want to check out my streaming efforts head over to my Twitch page!

My first proper job was back in 2001 as a junior developer working with CGI/Perl. Since then I've worked with all kinds of technologies, working with both servers and writing the code that these servers run.

Today I am an Engineering Manager, and work with people more than with code. My main focus and what's important to me has changed with that, and I am far more interested in building inclusive and welcoming communities and teams than the technologies that are used under the hood.

The things which guide me in my decision making, interactions with others, and the way I act are:

• Diversity
• Inclusion
• Accessibility
• Psychological Safety
• Developer Experience
• Fail Fast, Learn Quickly

As a hiring manager I always strive to employ, support, and grow people who are better than I am at things. I have many mantras, but when it comes to being a manager:

Good managers don't manage people - We lead people, we manage situations.

I have a couple of hiding places on the Internet. You can find me at:

• Twitch
• Discord
• Twitter

These days there are a few core technologies that I use in my modern coding life.

• Windows with WSL2

Makes gaming easier to be on Windows. I like to code on Linux when I can, but dual-booting is a pain, and WSL does a decent job.

• NeoVIM

I've recently fallen in love with nvim again. There's a repo with my settings here. I used to use VSCode but nvim feels a lot more fun, which is why I code.

• Rust

Making WASM games, and doing lower level application programming.

• TypeScript

All the node and React things. TypeScript is a joy to work with where JS can quickly become a mess and hard to navigate with larger projects. Occasionally get stuck with some of the more advanced TS features, but that means I keep on learning!

• React

I've been using React for so long it's like a second language to me. I can use it to build functional front-end easily, and enjoy using some of the newer features (read hooks.)

• Heroku

Running hosting can be a pain, so I tend to just throw things at Heroku and let someone else worry about the hosting.
