Work#

Retired. Open to part-time engagement on software projects.
Dabbling with Claude Code. 20+ software projects under my belt, with more every day. Some tiny, some medium size. I’m learning a lot.
Living on iPad Pro 11" with a Magic Keyboard as my main computer. It’s kinda great. iPad Pro + GitHub Codespaces as a pretty satisfying dev setup, even if it has a few paper cuts.
Mac Mini (the cheapest config) for iOS/iPadOS/macOS native development.
I was inspired by An app can be a home-cooked meal.
- I made an iOS app just for my family. See Building River
- I made another iOS app to edit my Tiller transactions in Google Sheets. See Another Home-Cooked Meal App

Back Burner#

One kid in college and one finishing high school. The nest is already feeling a bit more empty. It’s bittersweet, but we’re looking forward to our next phase of the family.
Pampering our standard poodle.
I exercise regularly, though not enough. Unlike my younger years, I’m succeeded more than failing. Though just barely. Also, age brings with it one more challenge: minor exercise injuries happen more often and heal more slowly!

Always looking for more good Sci-fi. Libby brings me gems from my local library once in a while.
