Work

Employed

Updated

Senior .NET Developer at Multi-Bank Securities, Inc. I work remotely on a Microsoft-based stack: C#, .NET, Angular, SQL Server, and Azure DevOps. I contribute across the full SDLC and help refine internal engineering standards. Not currently looking for new opportunities.

Building

Active

Updated

  • Maintaining my open-source MCP servers (atproto-mcp, activitypub-mcp, openzim-mcp, and gopher-mcp)
  • Teaching this site to watch itself — a PII-free read on AI-agent traffic, uptime and Web Vitals rollups, and an edge cache in front of the pages that negotiate on Accept
  • Self-hosted analytics and SEO-audit tooling for this site, running on Cloudflare Workers

Learning

Ongoing

Updated

  • Rust for systems programming. My BLE sensor toolkit, aranet, is the current proving ground
  • What it takes for an MCP server to hand a host something it can render, rather than text a model reads back
  • The IndieWeb end of publishing — webmentions, POSSE, and which parts survive the round trip

Reading

Current

Updated

  • Currently reading The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt Dinniman, book six of Dungeon Crawler Carl. I am six books deep and have stopped pretending this is a phase
  • Finished Build a Large Language Model from Scratch (Sebastian Raschka) at the end of July, which leaves AI Engineering (Chip Huyen) and the StatQuest Illustrated Guide to Machine Learning still going in parallel
  • Worked through The Gate of the Feral Gods and The Butcher's Masquerade over the summer, books four and five of the same series
  • 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

Updated

I’m living in Michigan and enjoying the changing seasons. Raising my two boys takes most of my time outside work. When the weather permits, I’m outdoors with my camera, and I’ve been exercising regularly.

This is a now page. It’s updated periodically to reflect what I’m currently focused on.
