I'm James,

I'm a generalist software developer interested in full stack app architectures.

I'm currently working on a query language for UI state management, and trying to understand datalog a bit better.

I recently rewrote a typed / structured router for web appscheck it out

I help runHarth Systems.

• We maintain our own construction project management appOdin
• Build new products as partnerships
• And we do ad-hoc consulting too (postgres, web services, web apps)

I used to participate ingamejams but I haven't done that for a long time, still I find game jams have been great for learning how to scope and finish projects, so I'd like to get back into that eventually.

I'm always up for a chat, so hit me up and ask me anything!
