<h2>Digital DIY</h2>
<div class="column">
<p>
I'm always writing software, even when I'm not at work!
My favorite things are designed to be
<b>useful</b> and <b>re-usable</b>, so you can get the
most out of your time on the World Wide Web.
</p>
<p>
<b><a href="">Goblin Radio</a></b> is an exploration in
making your own internet radio station from the simplest
tools possible. Only requires a couple javascript
packages to get the server running, and you can provide
whatever audio files you like!
</p>
</div>
<div class="column">
<p>
<b><a href="">Google Sheets to Blog converter</a></b>
used to be a larger app called <i>Sheet-Posting</i> that
had a hundred or so users, but I took it down due to
hosting changes. The code's still there and useful
though, if you're keen to get into blogging but don't
want to learn a new UX to do it.
</p>
<p>
<b
><a href=""
>Multiplayer features for Google Slides</a
></b
>
is one of my most popular creations to date! No more
saying "next slide, please" during presentations, just
load up your Google Slides into the app and give anyone
the controls.

I love making games, to the point where if I'm not sure
what videogame I want to play in the moment, I'll start
programming one instead. Recently I've been getting into
<a href="https://www.pico-8.com">PICO-8</a>, and here
are some of the games I've made!

I've got a few other little bits and bobs hidden around
here, such as
<a href="./play/the-queue/"
>a real-time simulator of the 2022 queue to see
Queen Elizabeth II lying in state</a
>
(RIP), a version of
<a href="./play/favicon/pong/"
>pong that runs in the browser favicon</a
>, and
<a href="./play/zan/"
>the smallest possible AI companion</a
>. Or, if creative writing's more your jam, try out the
unofficial
<a href="./play/garth-marenghinator/"
>GARTH MARENGHINATOR</a

<h2>Reference<br />Information</h2>
<div class="column">
<p>
I am currently (2023- ) a
<b>full-stack software engineer</b> at
<a href="https://lego.com">The LEGO Group</a>, focused
on the intersection of membership and ecommerce, but
with my fingers in everything from infrastructure
scaling during the busy season to improving developer
experience across the org. I work in <b>HTML/CSS</b>,
<b>JavaScript</b>, <b>TypeScript</b>, <b>React</b>,
<b>NextJS</b>, <b>GraphQL</b>, <b>Python</b>,
<b>Databricks</b>, <b>CDK</b>, and the various
<b>AWS</b> services.
</p>
<p>
Before that, I was (2019-2023) at <b>Zapier</b> helping
developers integrate with a rapidly-growing automation
platform.
</p>
<p>
And even before that (2017-2018) I was at
<b>Squarespace</b>, as the last line of defense for the
legacy Squarespace 5 platform (RIP).
