Building web applications. Currently working on a medical information-management portal in React TypeScript. We're a small startup, so I get to practice coding, design, and project management.

Writing a broad technical book about automated testing. First draft is in progress, currently 13,262 words to my goal of 75,000. Sound interesting? Let's talk!

Blogging, with 174 posts published. Latest was How to Deliver Code Every Day.

Organizing the Maine JS Meetup. Our next event is lightning talks on April 9. I recently gave a lightning talk on Flexbox.

Volunteering at Code Platoon. Teaching a few PostgreSQL workshops per year and mentoring.

Drinking tea with the Northern Light Zen Center. I recently completed a four day retreat.

Learning CAGED on guitar. Experimenting with piano, electric bass, ukulele, and cigar box guitars.

Building a raised-bed garden when the Spring comes. Caring for houseplants including a Joshua Tree, air plants, and black pine seedlings for bonsai.
