About

Hi! I'm Hamilton (he/him) - a Technomancer building Simple Scalable Systems. Welcome to my Digital Garden (see site stats).

I enjoy thinking about systems, building tiny businesses, and sharing my learnings on my blog and youtube channel. I've worked professionally as a Software Engineer since 2017 for companies large and small on projects ranging from core services to fraud prevention to data pipelines at scale.

If you want to see what I'm up to now checkout my latest reflection. I also post regularly on my blog, socials, and email list.

Currently building with:

• The HAM Stack - Hypermedia on a Modulith
• Backends with Rust - see: Launching CloudSeed Rust
• Frontends with Hypermedia - see: Why you should choose HTMX for your next web-based side project
• Postgres for Data - see: Postgres Over Everything - Why You Should Probably Just use Postgres for your next Web App

Outside of work I like to read, write, play video games, run/walk, and tinker with various technologies. I also dabble in street photography, bowling, and personal knowledge management systems.
