Full stack engineer, musician, and birdwatcher based in Lewiston, ME. 🏡 I spent about a year completely offline — no LinkedIn, no blog, no social media. Late 2023 through the end of 2024. An intentional disconnect. I'm back to building in the open. I build infrastructure tooling, digital automata, hack upon compilers, I love learning new languages, futz with hardware, occasionally attempt to run buisnesses and maintain a lot of fun projects here and elsewhere. |

Photography
Cut my teeth professionally with world-renowned aerial photographer Alex MacLean and Mike Nyman Wedding Photography before going into business as J.S. Event Photography. Wrote and taught the youth photography curriculum at Joppa Flats and Drumlin Farm Mass Audubon Wildlife Sanctuaries — programs still going strong. Work featured at Celebrate Newton, Newton Public Library, Pease Public Library, Newtonville Cinema, Newton Camera Club, Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary, and in the Newton Tab. Did my own printing on a heavily modified inkjet printer. Completely burnt out from photography by end of 2017, sold all my gear by the end of college.
Music
20+ years of guitar — currently play a custom 9-string electric made for me in NH and a 12-string acoustic. 25+ years of piano/organ — primarily on a rotary Yamaha organ these days.
"If there were no computers I'd probably be a baker, a minstrel or a bard."
