I love to solve problems, help others, and learn. With over 20 years of software development experience, I have come to abhor clever/complex solutions, but instead enjoy simple, easy to read and maintain code.
If you like beautiful solutions too, we can be friends. :-D
Recent Projects
Fake REPL
I've been using M5Stack hardware as a portable development tool. I ended up wanting to have arbitrary code execution on the hardware but there was no way to do this. I wrote a REPL which allows me to test various code while away from a computer.
Progress Bars
I've been working on various micro-controllers (ESP8266 and ESP32) and needed a good way to display progress on an OLED screen. I wrote this library to make quick progress bars which also were performance on the restrictive hardware.
Ashaw Notes
Over the past 4 years I have been writing software which allows me to quickly jot down notes and conversation while working. This system allows me to recall conversation and important information at any moment. In 2017 I decided to release it as Open Source software on GitHub.
OS Uploader
After releasing the SoftLayer Image Importing service we were quickly asked by customers what was the best way to transfer images from one cloud provider to SoftLayer. I wrote a blog post (with several tools) to help customers understand the new service.
