I write code for a living — and for fun.
I get a kick out of coding software to organise and manage information (music, written fiction, personal notes, mindmaps, you name it). A few buzzwords for you: semantics, thick web apps, REST APIs, UX.
I work for MediaSP, an East London start-up, building a white-label REST-based music platform for ISPs (think Spotify crossed with Twitter), with a server in Ruby, a Javascript web front-end and upcoming mobile apps. Before that, I also contributed to the XMMS2 open source music player.
Since November 2010, I’ve been the co-editor and all-around engineer for francophone electronic speculative fiction magazine Angle Mort, for which I developed an ebook production chain called Hypermonk.
Those days, I do mostly Ruby, Javascript, and the obligatory HTML/CSS. I’ve been known to write C/C++, PHP/MySQL, Java, Scala, even some Perl in the near to distant past.
All this time, I’ve been living in emacs, and I believe in Git.
