👋🏼 quick intro:

Built my first site in 1995 and immediately fell in love the power to publish online. Stumbled into open source in 2011 (#WordPress)

Currently teaching #FrontEndDev at LinkedIn Learning, trying to keep my clients happy, and figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.

Let’s chat

Thanks, Jeff! Sounds like a short trip, but maybe we'll cross in the hallway track!

Also, if you're curious what we're building at #CFHack, @fair.pm and @patchstack.com are teaming up on the FAIR Software Security Assistant, an open-source tool that automates vulnerability checks and policy enforcement for FAIR repositories.

@raemorey.bsky.social has a great writeup. 👇

I've used Clarity.fm for years as a pay-by-the-minute consulting platform, but the service is meh. Phone call quality is consistently poor and there's no online meeting option (gimme some screen share ability!).

I don't do a ton of these calls, but I need a better solution. What do you use?

Menopause isn’t an ending — it’s a powerful threshold.
In Episode 20, we talk with Elena Rego (@theholywitch.com) about magic, ritual, and reclaiming the sacred feminine through life’s transitions.

✨ “Play for pleasure, not purpose.”

We spent all of Monday there visiting local friends. It seems very charming. Did you miss big city living at all?

Spending the week in Denver with my partner and considering a relocation here. So far the only red flags are the paper straws.

Listening to Stanley Tucci’s “What I Ate In One Year.” Good grief I love listening to that man talk about food.

The mustard ketchup combo just doesn’t strike me as pairing with carrot, but the honey roasted part sounds delicious!
