Charles M. Knox

Welcome. I am a senior software engineer with >12 years of professional experience. I hold a Bachelor's of Science degree in Physics from Arizona State University, and I worked at Intel in a variety of roles for about 8 years, and then worked with a variety of VC-backed tech startups as well as other firms.

I am a Linux enthusiast and write software in Go, TypeScript, and Python, and dabble in other languages from time to time. I've done DevOps roles and software engineering roles for the majority of my career.

Software projects

Here's a growing list of software projects I've either written, forked, or have made contributions to. This list isn't complete and currently covers only very recent items.

Historically, much of my source code has been stored on my own Forgejo instance, off of GitHub. I am currently in the process of migrating things on to GitHub.

  • Diceware password generator - Generates secure passwords that are easy to type, work with most sites, and don't require much effort. Minimalist and light on resources.
  • Hugo minimalist theme - A Hugo theme for my personal music project that supports dark/light mode and works with browsers without JavaScript. Source code here.
