You can read about my work in /projects. Most of the FOSS work is on GitHub. (opens in a new window)
Fediverse
I'm a big believer in the work happening on the fediverse. It's a “new” place where people from different social networks can see, chat, and follow each other.
It's using open-source software, with servers maintained by volunteers, funded by the community—all on the social web standard.
I run nutmeg.social, (opens in a new window) a Mastodon server for #Connecticut, (opens in a new window) USA.
This site
Built on 11ty with Tailwind and Alpine. Managed with Coolify, on Hetzner, behind Cloudflare. Typed in Luciole and my font, “Fat Sharpie.” I've documented some of this in “Why 11ty with Alpine” and my “Move to Hetzner and Coolify.”
