Code & Collaboration

I strive to collaborate with open source projects as much as possible, and share what I work on under free and open licenses.

Writing & Social

I write things on the internet about UX, tech, and what I’m up to. I usually share these things on social media.

Gaming

I play games when I can find the time. Usually on PS5, but occasionally on Stadia, Switch, and—very rarely—Steam.
