From corporate veteran to independent creator. I build programming courses, explore Web3 technologies, and share decades of development experience through blogging and teaching.

}I'm turning 24+ years of building software into text-first courses, published right here. No videos to scrub through: every lesson is readable, runnable, and ends with working code you built. The flagship course is free start to finish, and paid deep-dives are on the way.
After 24+ years in corporate development, I'm now focused on sharing knowledge and exploring the frontier of Web3 technology
Comprehensive courses teaching real-world development skills from decades of experience.
Insights from 24+ years of tinkering, building, and solving complex programming challenges.
Building on the Livepeer network and exploring the cutting edge of decentralized technology.
After decades with various languages, these are the technologies capturing my attention right now
Systems programming and performance-critical applications
Backend services and concurrent applications
Full-stack web development and modern frameworks
Decentralized video infrastructure and Web3 protocols
In 2023, I made the leap from corporate software development to focus on what I'm truly passionate about: teaching others and building on cutting-edge technologies. After 24+ years of solving complex problems, I'm now dedicated to sharing that knowledge through courses, blogging, and exploring Web3.
Text-first programming courses built from real-world experience
Build a real analytics interface on web components: a TC39 signals store, a debounced query runner that cannot render a stale result, twelve Lit components with their own shadow styles, D3 charts, and a design system that recolors from one slider. Free and text-first.
View course →Put a real SQL engine in a browser tab. Build the data layer of an analytics app on DuckDB compiled to WebAssembly — a worker, a database file that survives reloads, prepared statements, window functions, and a SQL console you write yourself. Free and text-first.
View course →The sequel to the free DuckDB series: a test suite for code jsdom cannot run. Real browsers, real WebAssembly, real workers, deterministic fixtures, fake-timer proofs for a debounced query runner, and end-to-end checks that a database file survives a reload. Seven lessons, $5.
View course →Sharing insights from 24+ years of building software and recent explorations in Web3
Twenty free lessons that put DuckDB in the browser and build an analytics dashboard on it — a worker-backed data layer with OPFS persistence and window functions, then twelve Lit components on a signals store. Every lesson ends at a tagged checkpoint.
A free 13-lesson course (plus a bonus) that builds a complete browser chess game: a Rust engine compiled to WebAssembly, a Lit web component, and 54 tests across three layers. Every lesson ends at a tagged checkpoint.
A free 12-lesson course that rebuilds MyBatis JPetStore 6 in Rust with Axum, SQLx, and Askama, ending in a single 7.4 MB binary. Every lesson ships a running app and a tagged checkpoint.
Whether you're interested in programming courses, want to discuss Web3 development, or just want to chat about software engineering, I'd love to hear from you.
