I'm a senior software developer currently working in Lenovo's Infrastructure Solutions Group, where I help develop web-based applications for internal company use. I'm married with two daughters, two cats, and we live in Raleigh, North Carolina.
If I'm not working, I enjoy woodworking, photography, hiking, and spending time with my family. I used to enjoy computer programming as a hobby, but I don't do that as much as I used to. I suppose that having young children will do that to you. Hopefully I'll get back to it one of these days.
About This Site
Believe it or not, this site has been around since 2004. Given its age, it has unsurprisingly been through a number of design iterations. At one point in the late 2000s, the primary site focus was on Firefox software and development, but those days are now behind us. Now the site basically serves as my personal corner of the internet, where I can write about and share the things that I find interesting.
Originally, this website was backed by WordPress, which I came to loathe. In late 2020, I decided to ditch WordPress and develop my own backend in Python, using the Django framework. It was deployed on one of DreamHost's shared servers until March of 2024, when I switched over to a dedicated DreamCompute instance (to avoid having to run on their less-than-preferable software stack). In general, I've been pleased with the service I've received at DreamHost.
