Work

Employed

Senior .NET Developer at Multi-Bank Securities, Inc. Working remotely on a contemporary Microsoft-based stack — C#, .NET, Angular, SQL Server, and Azure DevOps — contributing across the full SDLC and helping refine internal engineering standards. Not currently looking for new opportunities.

Building

Active
  • Maintaining my open-source MCP servers — atproto-mcp, activitypub-mcp, openzim-mcp, and gopher-mcp
  • Making this site agent-readable — markdown mirrors of every page, llms.txt, and an A2A agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json
  • Self-hosted analytics and SEO-audit tooling for this site, running on Cloudflare Workers

Learning

Ongoing
  • Distributed systems fundamentals, working chapter by chapter through Designing Data-Intensive Applications
  • Rust for systems programming — aranet, my BLE sensor toolkit, is the current proving ground
  • The A2A protocol, by wiring an agent card and JSON-RPC endpoint into this site

Reading

Current
  • Currently reading The Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinniman — book four of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, which I've been binging after tearing through books one to three
  • Working through AI Engineering (Chip Huyen), Build a Large Language Model from Scratch (Sebastian Raschka), and the StatQuest Illustrated Guide to Machine Learning in parallel
  • Recently wrapped up Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari, Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick, and Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green
  • Blogs and newsletters through my self-hosted Miniflux instance, a setup I wrote about in "RSS Is Still Great (and Miniflux Is the Tool You Need)"

Life

Michigan

Living in Michigan and enjoying the changing seasons. Spending time outdoors with my camera when weather permits. Staying healthy with regular exercise and cooking more meals at home.
