Software Engineer
mastertac
I design and build software, from low-level programs to user applications. I also write about my projects, what I learn, and thoughts on tech.
About
I'm a self-taught software engineer with a background in systems and a deep interest in Unix, low-level programming, and application development. I care about usability, maintainability, and the decisions that cascade through a system — from architecture down to what a user feels. Software will communicate something whether you intend it to or not — I'd rather be deliberate about what that is.
