👋 Hello!
I live in Naarm/Melbourne and was born and grew up in palawa country/Tasmania.
I'm a professional librarian, dilettante computer programmer, and amateur system administrator.

I co-founded and continue to help run newCardigan. We help make GLAM workers more awesome.
As part of this work I host two web applications:
Aus GLAM Blogs collects blog posts from Australasian workers in cultural institutions. It runs on my own Rockpool software.
ausglam.space is a social media platform for the same people, running Darius Kazemi's Hometown fork of Mastodon
Previously I served on the VALA Committee for 7 years, and the In the Library With the Lead Pipe Editorial Board for two years.

👍 Stuff I like
Podcasts
You should check out Against the grain, Tech won't save us, and Live like the world is dying for all your anarchist listening needs.
Technology
Gemini is a fun new protocol running on the Internet. It's like the Web but without all the annoying bits.
Rust is a powerful and relatively new programming language designed for safety and performance. I've been learning how to write compiled software programs with it.
I'm also a big fan of running hot water.
