hey there. my name is colin, I’m a computer programmer living in seattle, washington, USA1. most recently, I was one of the four people running cohost.org. before that, I helped build crowdsourcing games called nanocrafter and mozak for the university of washington to connect scientific researchers to laypeople who could do data work for them, and before that I worked at microsoft, mostly on the system voice search for windows phone 7, 7.5, and 8.
the past few years have burned me out on social media (even the open-source ones) for a variety of reasons, so I’ll be doing a blog as my primary public online presence again.
in my spare time, I:
- design some 3D printable objects, which you can find on printables;
- write code and design electronics; my personal gitlab and especially my github are a mess of abandoned whims, but I’ll write about and link to the good ones here.
