<section>

<p>I'm best known for <a href="/software/requests">Requests</a>, the Python HTTP library. I built <a href="https://kjvstudy.org">kjvstudy.org</a>, a free digital study Bible. Most of what I write these days lives at the intersection of technology and consciousness — what we owe each other when we build things people think through.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I live openly with <a href="/mental-health">schizoaffective disorder</a>. I'm a husband and father. Tech used to be my identity. Now it's <a href="/essays/2026-03-18-values_i_outgrew_and_the_ones_that_stayed">craft, not lifestyle</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This site is the whole picture — <a href="/essays">essays</a>, <a href="/software">software</a>, <a href="/poetry">poetry</a>, <a href="/photography">photography</a>, <a href="/music">music</a>, and the <a href="/artificial-intelligence">AI work</a> that ties it together. Fifteen years of thinking out loud.</p>

<p>Thank you for your attention — it's the only currency that actually matters. If anything here resonated, I'm glad. If you're curious about what drives the work, my <a href="/values">values</a> are the closest thing to a map I've got.</p>
