I have a PhD in philosophy from Yale University and spent the last five years working as an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. I've always had a passion for open-source development, and I realized just how much I enjoyed when my work gave me the opportunity to use code to tackle a problem. I just completed a batch at the Recurse Center, and I'm now looking for new challenges in full-stack, frontend, or backend development.
Some of my recent interests include:
- Peer to peer networks: Check out my BitTorrent tracker etracker and my BitTorrent client pytorrent, which was developed jointly with Lamone Armstrong
- Games or projects designed to be frustrating or annoying: I've written an idle clicker svelteclick and a dissonant music generator badbach.
- Database design, especially at scale.
