About Me

I like writing software. Coding, but not only. Making things. Making them work. Breaking them to put them back together.

Started coding in ‘95, paid by ‘99. Rode the dot-com wave, explored full-stack in .NET, Java, and Ruby, then settled into iOS development in 2009, and haven’t looked back.

My guiding principles in software:

  • The best code is no code
  • Modules should be deep, not wide
  • Prefer duplication over the wrong abstraction
  • Simplicity enables reliability (and AI-bility)

Also, I’m a self‑diagnosed case of Conditional Statement Aversion.

Off-hours: hacking bikes, walking dogs, or lost in sci-fi.

About Site

There are three main sections: Five for Sunday (borrows from Angry Weasel’s, but currently dormant), Articles, and Projects.

I had bigger plans for this site, but revised them. Now, I mostly leave it as-is, polishing occasionally and adding to Articles. Maybe I’ll return to regular writing someday.
