Talk to Your Computer
I love computers. I always have. The hardware, the software, the whole deal. Poking around a new OS, writing code, learning how something works under the hood, setting up a new machine, upgrading things. That stuff is fun to me for its own sake, not because it’s productive. Computers are just cool.
Swift Everywhere: Web Edition
I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is rewriting my website in Swift (again).

It’s Swift on Server, minus the server. Deployed on AWS via Swift Cloud.
CatchUp v3

Nuxt 3 vs SvelteKit
I’ve been thinking for several months about rebuilding my website (again). There were several reasons. First, to dig back into front-end work and re-familiarize myself with that world.

Learning WebRTC
WebRTC can be tricky to wrap your mind around – there’s a lot involved and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Once you understand the basics though, it’s much easier to reason about the rest.
Rocking with the Jamstack
There comes a time in every young developer’s life when they stumble upon a technology, or a philosophy around technologies, that just works for them. At least, that’s what I envision an older and more experienced developer telling me.
Catching Up
CatchUp - Keep in Touch was first released on May 6, 2018. It was the first iOS app I’d ever published to the App Store. Almost exactly two years later, I’m publishing this blog post and releasing an all-new, completely rewritten version of CatchUp.
Rebuilding My Website
The summer of 2015 was the summer between my sophomore and junior years at the University of Tulsa. I had taken a few programming classes by that point, and was drawn to web development. To prove to myself that I knew my way around the basics, I wanted to build a personal website – I didn’t have a plan for it, but I knew that I wanted it.
