Now

(Inspired by a coworker to create a Now page, distinct from an About page. Not a bad idea.)


Still living in central Connecticut, for now. It’s been almost a decade now… not sure how long I’ll remain here, given recent events, but let’s see how long we can hang on. 😉

I’m in my 9th year as a senior developer for Infinity Interactive, working remotely on various projects and technologies. And since I crave learning new things, it’s a great fit. They’re a talented, compassionate group of developers and consultants who know tech inside and out! What problems can they solve for you? (Seriously, that’s not just an ad – I love ’em. 😎🍺)

@Home

As always with me, I end up taking an interest in everything (“…but never master”, as it goes).

  • 2025-05: Still navigating the waters of my weird, empty new life. Still working out daily, thank god. Still focused on AI work. Didn’t get to that regular N47 content, but I do stream 3 times a week now, so I guess that counts. Existing, I guess…
  • 2024-12: Major life changes at home. Dropping weight. Getting in shape. Pushing hard into making regular content for Network 47 in my off-hours. …going for a life reboot where I can. I still do a lot of fun hacking on LLMs.
  • 2023-08: Currently I’m flirting between AI/LLM, infosec, and fantasies of digital electronics, in that order.
    • I find my infosec interests often lean towards OSINT, reverse engineering, digital forensics, and pentesting. Guess that’s a good chunk of the sub-fields? 😏 How does one get into physical pentesting…?
  • Volunteered some web development work for the local BSidesCT conference; that’s been fun. (Did this again for 2024! It was a blast!)
  • Been deep-diving into Python in general thanks to my day job assignment, the aforementioned AI interest, and just a general enjoyment of the language despite it being so quirky…
  • I had a crazy, wild moon-shot of a project idea earlier in the year that I was all-in on and excited to pull together… something that hadn’t been done in like 30 years… and then someone announced they were doing it, themselves. You couldn’t write that nonsense. Gutted me for weeks. (And then it turns out I’ve heard nothing from it since then.)

@Work

  • 2025-05: Still WordPress. Mostly front-end work with React and Svelte.
  • 2024-12: Mostly all kinds of WordPress and reverse engineering a database system. And stuff.

@Play

  • Streaming three-times a week! Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 9pm! (These are the first things I bail on when I have work to do, though, so be warned.) Recently playing: DooM: The Dark Ages, Atomfall, Atomic Heart, and more!

 

But we’re just two ships passing in the night
And you were turning left when I was right

What a cruel thing to do
To hold your cards, to twist the truth
Guess I misjudged you, but, god, I loved you

I tried to give you what you need
I put my heart out on my sleeve
Put it to rest now, it’s for the best now

You brush me off like so much fallen snow
And I know that it’s time to let it go
