Now

• I’m a Senior Engineer at Human Made.
  • As a result, I’ve traveled to Italy and Sri Lanka for company retreats, and St. Louis and Nashville for team meetups and WordCamp US.
  • This year I’ll be going to Greece for the retreat and plan on spending an extra week there with my partner following the retreat.
    • The retreat never happened due to COVID 😭 and I’m unsure whether we’ll go to Greece at all in the near future.
• I’ve been running a D&D game for my kids and their friends for over a year.
• I just published my first D&D module on DMsGuild.
  • It’s called The Haunted Circus and it’s about a…circus. That happens to be haunted at the moment.
  • This was written as part of the RPG Writer’s Summer Workshop.
  • I have plans to write more RPG content this year.
• I’ve been backing a lot of Kickstarter games projects lately.
• I’ve been doing this podcast thing roughly every week for the last 2 years with two of my buds and fellow WebDev Studios alumni. You can find it (“binary jazz”) on most streaming/podcast platforms.
• I’m trying to improve my JavaScript and CSS skills and am hoping to dig deeper into React.
• I still maintain a lot of open source projects that scratch my own itches. The things I’ve touched most recently are
  • Games Collector – WordPress plugin to manage a game collection. In use on my /games page.
  • Question Game – A framework for creating simple, customized conversation starter or dare games. Written in bare PHP.
  • D&D Battle Tracker – A very simple encounter tracker for D&D that was practice in writing something entirely in vanilla JavaScript.
  • Recipe Box – WordPress plugin to manage a recipe collection. In use on my recipe site.
• I participated in the 2020 RPM Challenge and recorded an album worth of music, but I haven’t gotten around to putting it anywhere yet.
• I’ve started practicing yoga but I still feel like I suck at it.
• In the last year I’ve spoken at a few conferences:
  • OpenWest, on Gutenberg
  • WordCamp Long Beach, on Gutenberg (video)
  • WordCamp Salt Lake City, on Outcome Driven Development Planning
