About

I'm Rob, a software engineer and computer science educator in Boston, Massachusetts, where I live with my spouse and two cats, one of whom likes hanging out on my desk.

I'm currently interested in part-time and/or consulting opportunities working on web stuff (frontend or backend), working on programming languages or compiler development, or teaching.

Longer-term, I'm interested in finding a full-time role at a company that is doing at least two of the three:

• addressing aspects of the climate crisis,
• avoiding venture capital, and
• that don't see software as their primary product.

I am not interested in companies investing in the use of large language models derived through the use of other people's intellectual property.
