I'm looking for remote full-time or freelance work!

I have five years of experience in tech journalism as both an editor and writer. My portfolio includes hundreds of technical guides, editorials, product reviews, and news. I specialize in covering Linux and open source software, but I also have published articles on agriculture and local history.

Additional experience includes grant writing, college tutoring, transcription coding, and municipal watch-dogging.

This week I finally deployed a solar #meshtastic node near the top of the hill I live next to. I went from seeing only 1 or maybe two other nodes online at any given time to 18 to 20. And my messages in the public channel actually get relayed ❗

I recently reinstalled CachyOS with #KDEPlasma after trying Cosmic and Xfce for a while. Felt like coming home. I'm also very excited for when I can upgrade #Kubuntu to 26.04 on my laptop because the improvements from Plasma 5 to 6 are great.

It's wild how much you learn by contributing to #OpenStreetMap data. I discovered via aerial view that the golf course next to me demolished more forest recently, and also that there's a weird religious compound with a history of scandals literally a few blocks away form me.

Websites on my craplist in 2026:

👉 Websites with scroll animations
👉 Websites with logins where the password field doesn't appear until after the username has been entered
👉 Websites that direct support requests to a Discord server (double crap)
