I'm a technical writer on the Developer Experience team at SignalWire.
You can find me working on developer documentation for both SignalWire and FreeSWITCH.
I also contribute to open-source documentation for projects I like.
I use he/him or they/them pronouns. Both are fine.

Here is a list of some of the projects I'm most interested in.
| Project | What it is | Why it's cool |
|---|---|---|
| Ghostty | A delightful new terminal emulator for macOS. | "Fast, feature-rich, and native." |
| Zen Browser | A great browser with a fantastic core dev and community. | Proof that one passionate dev and a supportive community can run laps around a VC-funded project. |
| CotEditor | An absurdly fast and functional macOS text editor. | New windows open before the Dock icon finishes its single bounce. |
| GitUI | A powerful TUI (Terminal UI) for Git. | Bring a fast and flexible UI (including visual diffs!!) to your terminal of choice. |
| warpd | A crazy cool (or just crazy) keyboard visual pointer. | Control your desktop with keystrokes. |
| Continue | Open-source GitHub Copilot. | Any LLM (including local and open-source) in your IDE! |
| Logseq | Markdown-based knowledge management software. | Very cool features and an active community. Compare to: Obsidian. |
| JUCE | C++ framework for developing audio plugins. | Build and deploy audio plugins to a variety of industry-standard formats. |
| Godot | Game engine. | Won't retroactively impose extractive fees. |
| FreeSWITCH | FOSS product that revolutionized software telecommunications. | I work on docs here! |
| Awesome Docs | Good list of docs tools. | |
| ExifTool | Image metadata editor | No other tool comes close for reading + editing image metadata |
| MarkMap | Mindmaps and outlines from vanilla Markdown |
