I'm a software developer who loves progressive politics and wonderful prose.

During the day I work as the Innovation Platform Director at NGP VAN, which means I manage our APIs and help progressive causes of every stripe innovate and engage their supporters. I've spent decades as a progressive activist, and about the same time as a software developer. I started out with C, dabbled in Java, spent a little too long with PHP and Drupal, had some laughs with NodeJS, but seem to be hanging around .NET more and more these days.

I love reading, especially literary fiction, and have been doing my best to write a review of every single book I've read since 2013. Since I believe turnaround is fair play, I've dabbled in some writing projects of my own, and might one day share them. In my spare time I help organize a fun and fascinating book club.
