About me:

Some recent projects

Minne: A light, signals-based web component framework
wc-services: A framework agnostic service provider
Potterly: a simple pottery journal web app to track your ceramics pieces

In a past life I was a math teacher, and my students used to affectionately call me "prof schof." I studied html, css, and javascript at night so I could eventually transition to being a front end engineer. That's my profession now. I currently work at Crowdstrike.

Most recently I've been diving into web components as solution to programatic dashboards and UI's. I mostly work with framework-level concerns: reactivity, framework agnostic APIs, and microfrontend strategies.

I live in Minnesota with my wife, 6 children, golden doodle, and 2 perfect kitties.

A note about how I use AI...

I have very strong and conflicting feelings about AI use in general. I've found in my line of work that using AI to supplement your workflow is necessary. I occasionally use claude-code to brainstorm, to prototype, to vet strategies, and to do mundane tasks that are just a tad too sophistocated for bash scripts.

That said, you can be certain that I write every line of text you read on this site.

And I hand-write the code examples that I share. I do not use AI to generate pictures or content. It's my conviction that we put this sort of boundary around AI use.
