Intro
I am an LA based web developer, I have worked with many large companies over the years as a web developer using various technologies, php, c#, python, nodejs.
I started out way back in the 90s and have continued with all the changes in the browser. Before html5 I did some cool things with flash but html5 is far better than flash.
Projects
Most recently I have been upgrading my skills working heavily on learning Rust, hopefully to get good enough to start making some major controbutions to free software projects written in Rust.
In the past I wrote java for Disney and have a cool Imagineering pin from my time with them.
Before and during the pandemic I got into webrtc and worked on a number of webrtc programs.
I have worked with many databases over the years, MS SQL Server, Oracle, Mysql, Postgresql, Mongodb, and now I am digging into sqlite hoping to work on the project to rewrite sqlite in Rust.
Now its quite difficult to find or do work of any kind. This should be good news - here comes paradise right? But instead we find ourselves slipping into a vicious post-capital system that looks more like the economy of Stalin's russia rather than the economy of the go go 80s.
Music
I first got into music playing with my college band, LHDJ. In the late 90s I was playing guitar for jazz trumpet and composer Wadada Leo Smith's Nda Kulture ensemble.
I use linux and open source software to make my music. However because its largely guitar based you might not know but I like to say so because Ardour is often much better than its competition.
You can hear my music on my youtube channel.
I also release music for download on Bandcamp
