I am a polite software developer and I am always committed to the bit. I will be your favorite app maker’s favorite app maker.

I am enamored by user-facing software, especially mobile, and especially iOS. Swift is my current weapon of choice but I will use any made-up word to solve any problem. I ship my side projects for free.

I run this single-user Mastodon instance in good faith and I intend to keep it that way.

I’m proud to announce that I’m sponsoring The Rizzler’s ticket to Deep Dish Swift. It’s the least I can do.

Ads coming to Apple Maps is distressing to me because the thing I am best at in life is finding good restaurants on Apple Maps. They’re threatening my craft.

We go to the hotdog stand outside of the local Lowe’s every couple of weeks. Best hot dogs in town, seven types, exclusively five stars on Yelp; it’s a hidden gem. Today the owner recognized us, knew our whole order—my partner gets one hot link with grilled onions and cream cheese, I get one Big Dog (💪🏻) and one snappy frankfurter each with grilled onions—and gave us free drinks. I finally made it.

I have no technical ability. I know nothing about Swift macros. But I have confidence in my taste, and the ability to express what I feel.
