Hello, nerds

I code on occasion, believe it or not. My latest deal is I'm making as many useful things with React as humanly possible. I also have some non-coding things that I do, which is mostly here on Polywork!

I love jokes and musicals. Also candy. If you would like to discuss these things, you can join my Patreon or follow me on Twitter. You can also ask me anything (within reason).
