I am Brett, and I am a human & developer living in Burlington, Vermont. I spend my time making things. I like to program, cook and read.

I work primarily with Ruby. When building web applications I use Rails and Sinatra.

latest article : what i am up to

After a half a year running and developing software at Gristmill, I am back to doing my own thing. It was a valuable experience where I learned a lot about doing contract work for clients and building web applications with Ruby on Rails.

It is now spring, and the weather is unbelievably gorgeous. I am thankful to have more time to work on personal projects and enjoy nature. I moved into a studio a few blocks away from home with Craig Winslow, a talented and kind individual.

I am optimistic about the future. My expectations are simple and humble. I want to make things because I can. I want to work on what interests me everyday. I want to cherish the relationships I have and form new ones. I want to continue to grow, learn and teach others.

There is no company or project to announce, thankfully. I am just going to work on what sounds fun and seeing where it takes me. I have no desire to make the Next Big Thing. I just want to make things. Things that I use, things that I play, things that people enjoy, things that help people.
