About

I'm Hamilton (he / him / his) - a Technomancer building Simple Scalable Systems.

I enjoy crafting systems, spinning up little biz, and sharing my learnings. 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. I create lots of side projects and run a blog and YouTube channel where I share my results.

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

Currently building with:

• The HAM Stack - Hypermedia on a Modulith
• Backends with F# - see: Why F# is a fun programming language
• 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
