hello

I tinker with projects, mostly at odd hours.

Ph.D. in Chemistry from Purdue in Indiana. Now working as a scientist at Eastman in Tennessee. Having a lot of fun working on challenging polymer problems.

Who's typing

Say where you are and what you do during the day. Two sentences is plenty — the projects page does the real convincing.

Then say why you build things. Maybe you'd rather spend an evening making the tool than twenty minutes doing the thing by hand. Maybe you just like watching an idea turn into a URL. Be specific; specific is what people remember.

I'd rather ship something ugly tonight than something perfect next month.

How this goes

01

Annoyance first

Every project starts as something small that bugged me. No itch, no build.

02

Ugly and working

Get it running tonight. Design comes after it's useful, never before.

03

Ship or shelve

Still fun after a week? It gets a domain. If not, I keep the parts I learned.
