World traveler, electronic music enthusiast and composer, avid meditator and yogi, determined global citizen, and newly made father -- I am interested in vegetarianism, transcending paradox, frisbee, skateboarding, chess, and all things javascript. On any given day you may find me enjoying a round of heavy coding at the local Denver coworking space, or on a weekend retreat to the mountains of southern Colorado, dipping into the glorious hot springs to restore my chi.

I hope you enjoy my site. It was constructed by myself entirely (on the backs of giants, to be sure... huge shout out to substack and coenraets!) It was primarily created as an experimental proof of concept, however I quite like it, so I will use it to keep track of my creations, projects, and mental meanderings. If anything strikes your interest, please feel free to com

###October 2012 - Present

• The Advisory Board CompanyJavascript UI / Node.js ArchitectHired exclusively for Node.js / Javascript development for this large Austin software company, I worked on a couple of large projects spanning a few teams, as well as engaged the well developed Front End Engineer culture. The second half of my time here was fully remote, with periodic trips on location. Largest takeaway: tons of Javascript experience, as well as experience working with a team and its development protocols.

I love javascript because I feel it reflects the universe in a way... That there is no absolute reality but rather a series of encapsulated experience templates (contexts) wherein consciousness (this) explores itself by consuming and emiting events within these contexts. In short, reality is event-driven with endlessly flexible scope. Its our job to reprogram the templates all the way up the prototype chain.

I'm baffled by the pervasive "mystery" surrounding the beholding of the third eye. It's about as mysterious as the beholding of a ball -- all you need do is simply look at it. Literally. Close your eyes, look up, then look in. If not immediately, remain there for just a few minutes and there you are: colors, images, tunnels, feelings of peace, etc. all right there. And before you suggest I have easy access from my experience with meditation and psychedelics, I can confirm this is nothing a child couldn't do -- I was doing it many years before I even heard the word meditation, and the children in my life find it very easy to have this experience with minimal explanation. It looks to me like the only thing keeping people from accessing such plainly obvious experience is a masochistic lack of openness, laziness, fear, or perhaps never having thought to look there in the first place. To think, all the clamour around this "Great Mystery", in both directions. The idea of ridiculing someone for believing the third e
