Sustainable systems for founders building things that last
I help founders build systems that are still good five years in. Fractional CTO, open-source contributor to the sustainable web, and photographer. Seattle, thinking from the Salish Sea.
Currently
- Writing wsg-check, a checker for the W3C Web Sustainability Guidelines, and running it against real sites, including this one.
- Contributing to a new reincarnation of Sustainable Websites focused on helping people build energy-efficient web technology.
- Building Rendition, an open-source media CDN in Rust with a sustainability angle: WASM at the edge, less origin traffic, less energy.
- Taking a small number of fractional engagements — how to work with me.
- Commercial Architecture, outdoor photography and aerial mapping at StorckPhotos.com.
