Information design is the theme connecting many of my projects. That is, many of my works are about creating a way of presenting information so it might be efficiently and effectively understood. Whether the canvas is a one page app, a Discord bot, a Wikipedia template, a photograph, a game design document, or the layout of code itself, information design is a core principle. Some day I might use principles of information design to explain this better.

I'm a developer with a wide range of experience in C#, JavaScript, and Python. I have a varied portfolio of projects, including Discord bots, amateur radio related projects, and libraries for parsing and formatting data. I've also made contributions to several open source projects including LiveSplit and the dotnet runtime.
