Hi there!
I build sophisticated data-driven web applications, specializing in Ruby on Rails, Elixir & Phoenix, relational data, power-user UIs, and highly expressive code. I pride myself on finding clean, thorough, requisite solutions to the problems that matter, and on my dedication to my clients' big-picture business needs and end users' happiness.
Things I love:
Open source •
Integral Theory •
Zak Stein •
Riven •
Dune •
Elixir & Phoenix •
Neurohacker Collective •
Dutch road design •
No Man's Sky •
Darlingside •
Functional Medicine •
Holacracy •
Non-violent communication •
Jekyll •
Lean Canvas •
Phoenix LiveView
Things I hate:
U.S. health insurance •
Bloated web pages •
Patent proliferation •
Object-oriented programming •
Telecom monolopies •
The sugar lobby •
Predatory loans
On my mind lately:
- We should write dumber code
- Why Elixir should take over the world
- From Rails to Phoenix
- Improving the UX of your code
- Surviving the framework hype
- Science Matters - decentralized research
- Holo - distributed P2P internet
- Re-learn CSS layout
- Writing HTML like it's 1999
- Browsers are good at loading web pages
- Give yourself permission to scale
