Now
Updated:
I live with my wife and two boys in Ballard, Seattle. We live in an old Craftsman that I keep saying I'm about to start fixing up.
Work
I'm a front-end developer at the University of Washington School of Law, and I'd like to stay here until I retire and collect my union pension like Debs intended.
I manage the public facing website as well as email marketing, and collaborate with Law IT on the help desk and other projects. I'm currently focusing on web standards and accessibility. I am a UW IT Accessibility Liaison and a UW Information Security Advocate, and participate in the Accessible Web, Front-end Technologies, User Experience & Design Thinking and Web Council communities of practice.
I've been trying to get better about documentation, which is especially important since I'm now working on several API implementations, including a home grown API for our personnel database that I'm really excited about. I also joined the W3C Documentation Community Group.
Reading Habits
I'm currently reading The Other Wind by Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dead Milkmen by Tyler Sonnichsen, Worlds of Exile and Illusion by Ursula K. Le Guin, Hold Everything Dear: Dispatches on Survival and Resistance by John Berger, and Trouble Boys by Bob Mehr.
