About

I’ve travelled a good deal in Pittsburgh, PA. I bike, and run (slowly). I’ve been a swimmer, and a wanderer in the woods. As a child, I was a great catcher of frogs.

The business of my life is building software to solve business problems: its solace is creativity, nature, and movement. I’ve been writing code for decades, and have had an interest in data visualizations, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction since at least graduate school.

I like shapes. Also, colors. Patterns too. I tend toward collage, non sequitur, riddles, frivolous jokes and references, and armchair treasure hunts. When I paint watercolors, it is by luck and heaven’s favor. I still read poetry, and sometimes write it. I used to make music, and maybe I’ll make more one day. My record player is often broken. I like to cook.

I’m a husband as well as a parent of two amazing children (I don’t share about this aspect of my life on the internet). By God’s grace, I’m a Greek Orthodox Christian: by my actions, I’m kind of boring. I am an AI optimist. I also like clouds.

I post random photos on , write words on , have an obligatory (which I try to avoid visiting as much as possible), and I’m starting to add code to . Feel free to connect.

Colophon

Set in Newsreader for reading and Source Sans 3 for menus, both from Google Fonts. Built with Astro, with no other front-end libraries: the carousel, photo wall and pop-ups are plain TypeScript and CSS. The palette is white paper, near-black ink (#1d1d1f) and two grays (#6e6e73 and #9a9a9f), so the Polaroids bring all the color.

The photos and words are mine. Web development by Claude. Graphic design by Codex.
