Technical Work
I write software for a living. It provides for my family and keeps me in the ordinary pressures most people face. It supports the writing on this site; it is not the point of the site.
I build tools at Ducks Unlimited—complex data and workflows, twenty-plus years of development behind me.
Current work
Focus: Full-stack web applications
Tools: Node.js, React, TypeScript, Azure, AWS
Why it shows up in the essays
The desk is where a lot of the Monday pressure lives. Pieces like “Stop Coding Under Stress” come from there.
Services
- WordPress Audit & Remediation—a read-only audit, a prioritized report, and a fixed-price quote, then the fixes. Managed WordPress hosts only.
- Secret Debt Assessment—a read-only scan across your repos and a prioritized remediation report: rotate these today, rotate these this week, log and ignore the rest. The rotations are yours.
- Search Rebuild & Rescue—a read-only audit that finds the high-traffic concepts your expert firm’s site deserves but doesn’t win, then a fixed-scope rebuild, measured before and after. Monthly rescue for a few firms at a time.
Guides
- How to triage secret scanner findings—a DIY triage method for a wall of scanner results; the same work available as a Secret Debt Assessment.
