Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

Black Hat 2022

Growing up, I was always enamored with the hacking, infosec and general computer security scene. Wound up checking off a bucket list item in 2022 when I got to help teach at Black Hat. DEF CON afterwards was even better.

Meetup with old Co-Founder

Here's hoping we work together again some day.

Last-minute demo building

On our way to a pitch meeting, my cofounder and I realized we had the wrong demo to show off. So we decided to make a new one on the spot... and thus my cofounder is in this shot angling to get a very specific shot of a building.

My first Japanese business cards

During my time with myGengo, it was frankly hard to describe exactly what I did: there was a bit of core engineering, a bit of developer relations/outreach, and more. Business cards ("meishi", 名刺) still have more use in Japan than the west, and so when the topic of mine came up, I just told them to give me the title of "alchemist" because I couldn't think of anything else.

Presenting on Wii.js

Yeah, this photo is archaic - but I kept it around for sentimental reasons. Was by no means my best presentation, but it was cool to showcase a JavaScript library I'd written for a somewhat unconventional device (at the time).

Developer Evangelist

At one of the litany of developer events I attended to evangelize the company I was working for.

Ye old Webs desk

Where I began my (professional) career, more or less. As you can see, the desk has all the important tools for web development.
