🎩 Hello! Saluton! Salve! Hoi!

I am Colin Dean, a software engineer and community builder who uses technology to unite people and help them discover the answers to their questions through meaningful and delightful interactions.

I speak at conferences and have run conferences and conventions since I was 17 and non-profits since I was 20. You can read more about me at my website, cad.cx.

Communicating with me

I prefer to engage in English. It's OK to ask me to repeat myself because my Pittsburghese accent sometimes gets in the way. In order of familiarity as of 2023, I am a student of Esperanto since 2003 and Dutch since 2023. I've learned bits of some others 1.

Organizations in which I'm actively involved

Want to help me out?

You could also sponsor me on GitHub sponsors. I'll put the money toward one of these or several other organizations I care about.

Cheers!

Me on other code hosting sites

I keep some projects here on GitHub and some on GitLab. I might have something on Sourcehut or Pijul Nest with old stuff on BitBucket and really old stuff from my early development days on Launchpad.

Footnotes

  1. I was nearly fluent in Latin, having studied 1998–2007. I have some knowledge of Spanish, French, and Portuguese, mostly thanks to Duolingo or high school language classes, but not enough to converse.
