About Me
My name is Mike; I’m a programmer living in the DC
metro area.
Work
Right now I’m taking a sabbatical for 2025.
The gory detail of my professional history can be found in my
resume or on my LinkedIn
profile. I’m dedicated to working
remotely: I want to live wherever makes me happy and be around to spend
time with family and on the house.
Passions
- Exploration, especially long walks
- Languages, human and machine
- Tooling, especially simple but powerful tools
- Trivia
- Photography
- Free Software
Free Software Projects
Browse my repositories
I’m a big fan of free and open source software. I like to release almost
all of my personal work under the
GPL.
Recently I’ve been moving my active projects to management by Fossil
SCM. I love the baked-in wiki and ticket system: it
fits very well into my organizational style.
Project Contributions
In addition to my own, I also enjoy working with others on their projects:
MTG Familiar: My
largest contribution is the design of the life counter. I worked quite a
bit on project initially; in fact my friendship with the developer started
with our working together on the first release.
Diode for Reddit:
I forked Diode from Reddit is Fun
when the developer closed the source in 2012. My goal has been is to change
very little but keep a libre version available. As such my role is
primarily that of manager, reviewing and merging changes from a variety of
independent developers.
