I'm a hobbyist and professional coder, building everything from light up skirts for community ballet performances to event driven data buses for secure deployment pipelines. I also dance at and serve on the board of Metro Atlanta Dance Company.
Added hostile npcs and collision mechanics. The more I code with AI, the more likely I am to not review the written code and just accept it as is. Truly getting int the #vibecoding

For my 40th, we are touring Georgia. Last night we stopped in #jesup #jesupga. Yesterday was tiring, but we found a nice hotel called #theMallardArmsInn. Highly recommend for a historic stay.

Ms Jennifer of #MetroAtlantaDance gives her first dance tip of the week on where to focus during a Renversé. Hoping to see a lot more from her.

I doubt anyone needs convincing here, but there are definately issues with the #greentiles of #GitHub. Between the brightest square and the dimmest, one is several pushes when finding typos on my resume page, and another is hours of debugging an auth service.

It never ceases to amaze me how awesome a group of people we have. Every one of them shows a level of dedication above and beyond.

Never really sure what is the most attractive image to give. But, for those that live in the terminal, maybe you may enjoy: this is the command to compile the code, and an example of my BF bubble sort.

This was a PoC for how much work it would take to build a video game in Go. It was also just mean playing with the state machine pattern. Most of my time is spent building APIs and CLIs, and thus this was a good change of pace.

Just got done volunteering at the ICS Run the World event in Johns Creek, GA. We setup a table for the dance studio, handed out candy and chatted about our summer camps and parents night out.

Found this old pic back from when I was working at a startup right out of college. This was from 2014, where I was building a distributed system of Raspberry Pis on PoE. Not much to say. Just love the picture.

This was was dress rehearsal the day before the show.

Two years ago, I built light up skirts for our story book performance. Sadly, I lost the original pictures. Everyone present consented to social media posting, but I only have the edited version.

Decided to create a REPL for my BrainF**k interpreter. Found a pretty simple go module for arrow navigation, tab-completion, and keeping track of history.
