'lo there, you can call me cratty
this is my corner of the vast ocean that is the internet. i grew up with the vibrant web of the early 2000s -- it's precisely what inspired me to become a software engineer.
i've now got a decade in the tech-for-good game. i've covered everything from macro-enabled spreadsheets that ran half a country's land valuations, to old school .NET, to cutting edge React + TS video calling and transciption for healthcare, to accessibility-focused e-readers used by unis far and wide.
The web is a very different place now, compared to where it used to be. But seeing people keeping this version of the net alive today makes my inner child happy :)
there is no roadmap or todo list in mind for this, i'm winging it as i go, but i hope this will be a general repository of everything i like, and everything that i find intriguing. i hope you can take something in this magpie collection away with you ★
