Programmer, puzzle lover, and writer. In that order.
I'm currently working on new puzzles and games for them's crossing words, a cryptic crossword site. More to be announced soon.
I'm passionate about open source software and try to make contributions where I can, particularly in the Emacs space. I maintain a few packages that you can find on Github. I also have a handful of game jam prototypes available on itch, if you're interested in that kind of thing.
