I’m an artist, programmer and teacher in Melbourne, Australia. I used to work in tech, but I’ve stepped away to focus on education and performing arts. I teach mathematics, programming and music, mostly to kids after school. I play the flute a lot, but dabble in other woodwinds, piano, singing and recently some guitar. In tech, I work and teach in Golang, Python, Rust and C.
I originally went to uni studying classical music, then swapped to computer science. I spent 10 years in tech working in government, banking and eventually logistics. I love simple technology - weird personal websites with RSS feeds, low power devices that punch above their weight and efficient programs that don’t waste my time. I want to learn more about functional programming and Haskell, and my email inbox is always open for a FP chat.
Sometimes I livestream programming on Twitch or make Youtube videos about technology. I want to start posting some music content, but that is a work in progress.
This website is hand written Markdown run through a simple static site generator script. I wrote a blog post about building it if you want to see behind the curtain. I like simple sites with minimal JS that focus on text rather than being complex apps. Webrings, RSS feeds and IRC are all important technologies to me, and I hope that shows in how I build my website. RSS here is still a work in progress!
