This blog is collection of posts, essays, and guides about things that interest me: software, hiking, SRE, education, photography, microcontrollers, reading, and figuring out how life on spaceship Earth works.

By trade, I'm an SRE (what's that?) because I find accidents fascinating and because today's software is way too unreliable.

Here's some open source code I released into the wild:

• diy_framework - There's no better way to learn about how the Internet works than writing your own framework and HTTP server. It's a great exercise in TDD and asyncio, making it a good educational resource.
• py3tftp / PyPI - Pure Python (3.5) asynchronous TFTP server.
• AndCat - Android app to make file transfers easy on local networks. Written in Python using Kivy.
• I wrote the UPNP handling code for ZeroNet. Interesting case of working within constraints: use only the stdlib and gevent, only support the part of the UPNP spec that deals with opening and closing a port, and handle network errors gracefully.
