hey there. my name is colin (he/him or ey/em), I’m a computer programmer living in seattle, washington, USA1. I currently work on software which manages and orchestrates robots for organic agriculture. in the past,
- I was one of the four people running cohost.org;
- 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;
- 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.
if you live on colonized land like me, find your local indigenous peoples’ real rent program.↩
